Is God to weak for chariots of iron?!

"And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron." - Judges 1:19

This has to be one of the most used verse by skeptics in the Bible to disprove the omnipotence of God. After all, it does appear to be suggesting exactly how it sounds.

But lets take this bit by bit and see how this verse does not mean God cannot deal with chariots of iron.

If we look at other Biblical stories before the book of Judges, you will see that surely, God has no problem with iron chariots. So this verse has to be saying something else.

At first, this verse says the Lord was with Judah. So there is no debate on that. God was obviously with them. But just because God was with them, does that mean they would win any or every battle? The answer is no. In fact, God never promised that the Israelite's would win all there battles.

Now, there are a few answers for this. Every time we see people not trusting God in the Bible, something bad always happens. For example, when God had Moses send spies into the land of Canaan, they were to spy out and see what the Israelites would have to face. When they returned, they had no faith, and they were scared. They did no want to go into battle. So, God had them wonder the desert for a long time. We can compare things like this, to Judges 1:19. Perhaps the Israelite's were too scared to fight them because they had chariots of iron. So instead of winning the battle, they would not defeat them due to there lack of faith.

Or it also could be that God did not want them to conquer the land so quickly for some reason. Perhaps reasons for not having enough people to hold that area.

I don't think chariots of iron are any problem at all with God Himself. Just because this verse says God was with Judah, does not mean they could win, especially if what I said was right. They lacked faith.
