I think you are.

No. God was with Judah at the battle in question and the reason given for their failure was: BECAUSE they had chariots of iron.

This is a contradiction to the biblical assertion that nothing is impossible for God.
That was why Judah couldn’t overcome them, not why God couldn’t overcome them.

Because of Judah’s disobedience, God would not assist them in prevailing in that battle.

Just read the very next chapter in Judges.

You’re floundering, tiger.

You’re floundering and losing the thread.

Best get some shut-eye and start fresh tomorrow.

I did, and you are mistaken.

Next contradiction:

"We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him." 1 John 5:18


"For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not."
Ecclesiastes 7:20


How can both be true?

Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

How does that address the contradiction?

God has condemned sin in us and given us a life in Him. Which is why without Him we will never be right with God.

How do you know anything that someone else says to you? When you read anything from anyone you can only take what it says at face value or you find yourself trying to read between the lines.

Every written communication between anyone has a bit of revelation in it. When you write and are trying to covey your thoughts on a matter you choose what words best do that. This you find mysterious?

There is a contradiction in the following 2 passages. That is what we are talking about.

"We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him." 1 John 5:18


"For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not."
Ecclesiastes 7:20
