I think perhaps *Star Wars* is a better illustration of your position than an argument for it. Which of course would be the fallacy of fiction*.

Well Isaac, of course I'm not trying to lean on my own understanding. Rather I want to let the Bible speak. After all:
>2 Timothy 3:16-17 ***All Scripture*** is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
That would include Joshua 24:15. Don't you think so?
About that, from the context does it look like Joshua believes these people are making a choice, or that they are acting out a plot that was predetermined for them?
