God actually said "I will give you every place where you set your foot", so how is Joshua bending the facts? God spends one sentence talking about the river, and then three talking about how the Israelites are going to conquer all of the places they go to. God may not have mentioned specific places, but he said "every place where you set your foot", so that is pretty all-encompassing. God also says "No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you." and yet the iron chariots stood against them. Again, I am only referring to the part where god promised that they would conquer any place they went and no one could stand against them. The point of contradiction is that the iron chariots were indeed able to stand against them.
How did Joshua know where he was going to put his feet, if this is what God intended then Joshua would have control of the peoples who would be dispossessed. Like I said Joshua was told by Moses what peoples would be dispossessed. I do not care about the chariots at this time, that is another matter to be discussed later. I asked you to read all of chapters 3 and 4 and you would see that God intended to show that He was with Joshua by stopping the flow of the raging Jordan river, but you did not, if you had this argument would not be lingering on. I also asked you to do a little geography about the Jordan river yet you have not. So until you can accomplish these simple tasks then there is no since in continuing.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
