Numbers 21:5 - 6 details how Jehovah was tested by the Israelites grumbling and how He subsequently sent serpents among them as chastisement.
1 Corinthians 10:9 also relates to this same incident. However, citing the example of God's discipline of the Israelites, (in the original Greek) the apostle Paul writes that the believer's should not "mede ekpeirazo CHRISTOS" (caps for emphasis) . That is, they should not test CHRIST (as the Israelites tested Him in the desert).
How does the Watchtower justify rendering "Christos" as Jehovah in the New World Translation ?
Thanks in advance for all answers.
