I see this as splitting hairs / semantics.

Me too. Technically, she can be right. Sometimes one can really get into reading the bible but forget the whole point. Then there is the main character in “A Clockwork Orange”. He did a lot of bible study and definitely was not spending time with God. He imagined himself as one of the soldiers beating Jesus.

So, though the bible is very useful in understanding the personality of God and his will for you, it’s not the same as spending time with God. That’s what prayer is for.

Yah me too..much ado about nothing. Satan knows scripture better than I do but there's nothing Godly about him.

On the other hand someone who NEVER routinely studies scripture is going to be easily fooled by deceiving spirits pretending to be holy. The bible is the objective standard by which we can tell whether or not something is bad or good, holy or evil.
