"choose you this day whom you will serve" (Joshua 24:15)...incomplete, making it a deception
An important part of the scripture is omitted. People who refer to this part of scripture, cut out the most important part in order to suit their love of "FREEDOM".
The complete message is as follows..."And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." It is clear that Joshua's message is that if you reject the servitude to the Will of the 1True God, then you have , in your disobedience and rebellion, chosen "FREEDOM" to go to ANY of man's 'gods' for your self interests. Joshua is in reality decrying this "FREEDOM" of religions.
