amadaun - I suppose it goes without saying that I agree with you. For some reason, I've lost some of my desire to debate this issue with christians because the debate always drives down the same street that ends in a wall called faith.

I will play the christian and respond to your very valid points.

"God works in mysterious ways. We aren't meant to understand why he does what he does or did what he did. It must have been a part of his master plan to allow the Israelites to fail against the iron chariots and he must have been teaching a larger lesson when he told them to kill all those people. It's just not possible for our human minds to grasp the breadth of his purpose."

Can't argue with that, can we?

Amadaun, it's cool, man. People misunderstand each other all the time.

In regards to that verse that we're looking at, Judah had been defeating everyone that he met against, thus explaining why it would be written that God was with Judah. Judah was still human so he could fail, as he did against those who had the iron chariots. God still has to allow us to fail. Where would our faith be if we always got what we desired? Would it truly be faith then? I don't think so.

Now, I am in no way a theologist so I don't feel like I'm the best at being able to defend my faith, yet I will try.
