The context is that Israel grew impatient during their journey from Mount Hor, complaining against God and Moses: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cWhy have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?\u201d<\/em><\/span> Their grumbling and rejection of divine provision (manna) was seen as testing God\u2019s faithfulness. God sent fiery serpents among them, and many died. Moses was instructed to make a bronze serpent and lift it up, those who looked at it lived. This is the exact episode Paul references. Though he uses <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cChrist\u201d<\/em><\/span> (some manuscripts say <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cthe Lord\u201d<\/em><\/span>), the theological point is clear. Paul\u2019s use of <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201ctempt Christ\u201d<\/em><\/span> is provocative, it parallels who we are in Christ with the Lord God who sustains us (note 1 Cor. 10:4 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cthe Rock was Christ\u201d<\/em><\/span>). Whether one reads <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cChrist\u201d<\/em><\/span> or <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>\u201cthe Lord,\u201d<\/em><\/span> the warning is the same: don\u2019t presume upon grace while rejecting God\u2019s word and provision. This is how Paul taught Torah, the Torah has not passed away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bits of Torah Truths &#8211; Torah Concept in the NT: Let us Not Tempt Christ &#8211; Episode 600 1 Corinthians 10:9 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b7\u05dc \u05e0\u05b0\u05e0\u05b7\u05e1\u05b6\u05bc\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05db\u05b0\u05bc\u05e9\u05b5\u05c1\u05dd \u05e9\u05b6\u05c1\u05e0\u05b4\u05bc\u05e1\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc \u05d0\u05b2\u05e0\u05b8\u05e9\u05b4\u05c1\u05d9\u05dd \u05de\u05b5\u05d4\u05b6\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b0\u05ea\u05d5\u05bc \u05e2\u05b7\u05dc\u2013\u05d9\u05b0\u05d3\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d4\u05b7\u05e0\u05b0\u05bc\u05d7\u05b8\u05e9\u05b4\u05c1\u05d9\u05dd. #torah#torahwisdom#torahtruth#torahforlife#torah4you#torahtruth 1 Corinthians 10:9 10:9 Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents.
