Unless the Hittites are using chariots of iron (Judges 1:19), then you're on your own.

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.

And again, no point made.

From Matthew Poole's Commentary:
On account of their unbelief, whereby they doubted and distrusted God's power to destroy those who had chariots of iron and so gave way to their own fear and sloth, whereby God was provoked to withdraw his helping hand from them, and so they were really made impotent, as they were unwilling.

i don't know anything about you other than this one post - haven't seen any others, so i don't know what's up,

but i'm not on mine own, even though "they have chariots of iron"(and guns, and needles, and laws, and doctrines of satan, even whole synagogues of satan(with 2000 years documents to defend their ungodliness and crimes against humanity), and multitudes armed and evil and with no moral values)
arrayed against me.

For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in Yahweh: Walk as children of light. Ephesians 5:8
Hebrews 13:5Amplified Bible (AMP)
5 Let your [a]character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor [c]give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [d][I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor [e]let [you] down ([f]relax My hold on you)! [[g]Assuredly not!]

that's good enough for me for all eternity.

I see, so Jesus says "With God all things are possible" but God requires human faith to help him out a little bit. Poor God.

Mark 6:5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

The anticrist spirit which is controlling you hates the things of God.

Requires or demands?
Poor God.

The vast majority of her posts are mockingly antichrist with little or nothing to do with creation/evolution. These kinds come and go every so often.
She reminds me of verysincere and his goon squad that came here for awhile and tried pushing us around, then left in a tiff after I threatened to report him for his constant yelling at us.

At least she doesn't yell.

She'll probably leave after she exhausts her points though.

They usually do.

Apparently requires, since he "could not" drive out the hill people with their chariots of iron, and Jesus "could do no mighty works" in his home town. If it was demands instead of requires, the text would read "would not drive" and "would not do".
I understand that, but what if God has set restrictions on Himself?

We know it's not a matter of "could not" due to insufficient firepower.

I would say that leaves "could not" due to self-restriction.

Genesis 19:22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

You are scraping the very bottom now AV, why not just say you believe it all no matter what and move on?

Defend, defend, defend that's all Christians ever do because they are trying there best to believe a myth.

An atheist being called an "antichrist" is like being called an "antigandalf". Seriously.
I understand.

The term is unique to our faith.

How can anyone be called an "antichrist" when they don't even believe in a Christ?
1 John 2:22 He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
