The asner to what God cannot do is... "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)"
He can do anything he wants, but not repel chariots made of iron.
Your God is a fake. Logic shall eventually prevail and your terrorist cult will be destroyed.

Yet God was with Judah, which means he was on his side and wanted what Judah was trying to do, therefore as an benevolent being, he was obligated to use all his power to help Judah.

"We have here a further account of that glorious and successful campaign which Judah and Simeon made. 1. The lot of Judah was pretty well cleared of the Canaanites, yet not thoroughly. Those that dwelt in the mountain (the mountains that were round about Jerusalem) were driven out (Jdg_1:9, Jdg_1:19), but those in the valley kept their ground against them, having chariots of iron, such as we read of, Jos_17:16. Here the men of Judah failed, and thereby spoiled the influence which otherwise their example hitherto might have had on the rest of the tribes, who followed them in this instance of their cowardice, rather than in all the other instances of their courage. They had iron chariots, and therefore it was thought not safe to attack them: but had not Israel God on their side, whose chariots are thousands of angels (Psa_68:17), before whom these iron chariots would be but as stubble to the fire? Had not God expressly promised by the oracle (Jdg_1:2) to give them success against the Canaanites in this very expedition, without excepting those that had iron chariots? Yet they suffered their fears to prevail against their faith, they could not trust God under any disadvantages, and therefore durst not face the iron chariots, but meanly withdrew their forces, when with one bold stroke they might have completed their victories; and it proved of pernicious consequence. They did run well, what hindered them?"

It was the men of Judah that could not fight the men of the plains, "because they had chariots made of iron". If I know God, and I think I do, there was a reason for this.
You know you can list a billion stories in the Bible where God acted in a supernatural way to intervene, and you are telling me that God is a fake, simply because you don't understand the details of this particular story?
You are really fishing.

No, it was not God that could not move them, it was the men of Judah. "but THEY were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had iron chariots." Judges 1:19 c. Canaanites also possessed superior weapons.

Judah was unable to repel them, not God. As always, God only works with us according to our faith, so perhaps this was a factor. And, as always, there will be those who will try to pull apart a large truth with a small thread of misunderstanding...
EDIT: We christians know "he" is referring to Judah, and not God, because all "he's" in the Bible that refer to God have a capital H. That is how Bible translators, who have to translate from the original Hebrew and Greek, which have their own way of modifying it to mean God, show the difference.

JUDAH drove them out, God was with him. JUDAH could not drive them out. You can read, cant ya? The verse says JUDAH could not drive them out. God can be with anyone, but JUDAH was a mortal normal man, a believer, a faithful servant , but, as we all are, was still limited. Geez.
No hes not. But I appreciate your effort here, just not a very good try.
Yes, the answer was LIE.

Try reading the whole story. It was the lack of faith and the disobedience that cause the Israelites to fail.
Judges 2
...20 Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel and said, "Because this nation has violated the covenant that I laid down for their forefathers and has not listened to me, 21 I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died. 22 I will use them to test Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the LORD and walk in it as their forefathers did." 23 The LORD had allowed those nations to remain; he did not drive them out at once by giving them into the hands of Joshua.

how do people know that the word "he" is representing "judah" rather than "god". this is what's called referential ambiguity (i believe), and the bible is full of it. this is a very bad thing because it always gives christians an out. they treat ambiguous words like "he" like wild cards. if "he" does something good, then it's god., but if "he" does something bad. then it's the other person in the story.
