Matthew 28 Q&A with Tim Rowe

Campus Bible Study — Fri, 01 May 2026 11:47:57 +0000

“Why did Jesus initially disagree that he is worthy of worship only until he is able to perform miracles when he’s technically an extension of God, doesn’t that always make him worthy? Who exactly is Jesus? Does he evolve?” “Is Jesus’ authority only given after his death and resurrection, or simply “fully revealed” by it? …

“Joseph of Arimathea could roll the stone, doesn’t that mean other people could also roll the stone & take Jesus away? I’ve heard the argument that the stone was impossible to roll but Joseph did it.” “Could you explain why the Psalm 22 quote is written out in the original language?” “Why do the Jews …

“Is it proven and known that Jesus actually died on Friday 3rd April AD? Or was that simply said because this year, Good Friday falls on 3rd April!” “How are the wicked raised (for judgement)? Is it in some seme sense an overcoming of death for them even though not in Christ?” “How do I …

“Aren’t most of vv3-14 things that occur after the cross?” “If Jesus is speaking about his crucifixion, why does he say to pray it doesn’t happen in winter, and cry alas for women nursing infants? Does this not suggest that the ‘great tribulation’ (v21) is one which is experienced by the people and not by …

“If faith was only provided once Jesus sent the Spirit after his ascension, was the Spirit at work at all in the OT?” “When other people come to Jesus with “great faith” i.e. Canaanite woman & Roman official, did they have the Holy Spirit before Pentecost?” “If faith is either you have 100% or not, …

“How do we know that 14:1-12 is a flashback?” “How do we know definitely that Matthew’s placement of the story of John the Baptist’s death before Jesus feeding 5000 and walking on water was a deliberate choice?

Matthew 13 Q&A with Tim Rowe

Campus Bible Study — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 22:35:20 +0000

I don’t quite get the logic in 13:13. If the reason he speaks in parables is because the people will not perceive or understand, doesn’t that mean would be free to speak plainly (given the crowd would not understand either way?). I think it is interesting in v15 that God could clearly present the secrets …

Still wondering why Jesus changed “me” to “you” in quoting Malachi 3:1 passage What is meant by the end of Matthew 11:19; “Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds”? How should we understand 11:22,24? Does Jesus mean that those who hear and reject the gospel will be judged and punished more harshly than those who …

How does this being said pre-cross change its meaning for us relative to the disciples if it all? If not why does it not change? Central truth? I wonder if V16-25 is about future generations since v 1, 23 seem very specific to now. Perhaps v21-22 seems to be the future (after Jesus’ death & …

What would be the “speck” in Jesus’ eye? Throughout the sermon on the mount, we’ve seen that everything is about Jesus. But how can we have other applications from other than just “we need Jesus because he fulfills it, he’s the only that’s righteous.”? Mat 7:21-23 how does this go with Romans 10:9 if you …

V1: What is the reward? Is it our salvation? Do we already have the reward then? Does Matt 6:12 actually written that way, because Jesus is yet to die & rise again. V14-15 seems to provide a different reason. “neither will your Father forgive your trespasses”. So you must forgive others first, before you will …

Great talk! Really interesting take on the salt! Is it wrong to still think about salt in these ways?

How much can Ross bench? What are the different Scriptures that made Matthew write about the Nazarene prophecy?

If he was originally writing about Israel, in what sense is it a prophecy pointing …

Is it not also reasonable that Mary simply called the child “a supernatural cause” due to the extreme shame and ostracisation that would be involved with having sex and giving birth outside of marriage (especially with regards to the context of the time)?
