What does the Bible say about strange gods?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against serving strange gods, emphasizing the need for believers to worship the one true God.

In Joshua 24:20, Joshua admonishes the Israelites to put away the strange gods their ancestors served and commit themselves to serve the Lord. This sentiment is prevalent throughout scripture, highlighting God's jealousy for His people and His demand for exclusive worship. The Israelites were constantly warned against turning to the strange gods of the nations around them, reflecting the tendency of human hearts to stray towards false deities. In this context, strange gods can represent anything that distracts or diverts devotion away from the one true God.
