Is the God of the Bible Truly Omnipotent? Judges 1:19 demonstrates otherwise.
I recently encountered a skeptic who made the following argument to demonstrate the God of the Bible is not omnipotent. Does anyone have any suggestions how to refute it?
Where in Judges 1:19 ("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.") God mops up the enemy elsewhere without a problem, but cannot defeat the others in the valley because they had chariots of iron." This was a normal practice among the Ancients. Whenever something did not go according to plan, it was the gods will.
Any suggestions?
In gratitude,
Chris
