If God wanted them out, they would have been out.

Nice try, but this latest attempt to discredit the Bible is no less ridiculous than previous ones.
Judges 1:19 clearly says that it was Judah, not God, who could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley.
Read the New American Bible version of the same verse, and you'll see that clearly.

This is yet another version of the "Could God create a rock too heavy He could not lift it" question... again!!!!!
All things that are POSSIBLE are possible with God... but things that are IMPOSSIBLE are IMPOSSIBlE with God.
Just because you can string words together, does not make those things possible... i.e. you cannot have a 4-sided TRIangle, nor can you have a married BACHELOR. They are contradictions in terms and not possible in ANY realm of existence.
In fact, the Bible itself lists things God cannot do - like lie or deny Himself (Hebrews 6:18; 2 Timothy 2:13; Titus 1:2). The reason He cannot do these things is because of His nature and the nature of reality itself. He cannot lie. Because He is holy (Isaiah 6:3; 1 Peter 1:16), He cannot sin. Because He is just, He cannot merely overlook sin.
Oh, and it's not nice to name-call!
Have a blessed day.

Your question is a fallacy, like the omnipotence paradox: Can God make a stone so heavy that He can not raise it? the element is that God can not do something it quite is a contravention of His very own existence and nature. for this reason, He can not make a rock so enormous he can not %. up, or make something bigger than Himself, and so on. yet, not with the flexibility to try this would not recommend he isn't God, nor that he's not all-powerful. Omnipotence isn't the skill to do something achieveable, however the skill to do something consistent along with his nature and incessant along with his choose interior the realm of His endless and familiar skill which we don't very own. this would not recommend He can violate His very own nature. If He did something inconsistent along with his nature, then He may be self-contradictory. If God have been self- contradictory, He does not be authentic. Likewise, if He did something that violated His nature, like make a rock so enormous He could not %. it up, He might additionally not be authentic by using fact that it quite is a self- contradiction. by using fact that fact isn't self-contradictory, as neither is God, if He weren't authentic, then He does not be God. yet God is authentic and not self-contradictory. for this reason, God can not do something that violates His very own nature.

Both places talks about what is humanly impossible, not what is divinely impossible.
However, there are some things that even God cannot do. For example, He cannot do anything what would contradict His nature, such as cease being God, or to be unholy, or to do what is logically impossible ( like making a square circle, or forcing people freely to love Him ).

To say the lord was with me and yet I was defeated is not a reflection on God. God did not give Judah the victory but it doesn't mean the lord was not able simply that Judah was not successful.
The lord is with us in our defeats as well as in our victories.

yes, all things are possible with God. just because they could not defeat those in the valley does not mean that God could not.
If something is not of God's character or will, that does not mean that it is impossible for God, but only that He chooses not to perform that way. For instance, our eyes can only perceive so many colors, though there are infinate colors, in the same way God has many options to perform, but only certain ones are of His character and will for His people.
