Paul must not have know how great Witness Lee would be when he wrote Hebrews 4:12.
“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
If Jesus Christ isn’t who he claimed to be, if his gospel isn’t the high peak truth - we are to be most pitied.

We don't need to read the bible to understand the truth of it. We could gain the same knowledge from a different book or even a movie. What matters is our understanding. That's why new bible versions were created to help people understand the truth better. If someone reads the footnotes and understands the truth of the gospel better than someone who reads the bible alone, then ultimately that person with footnotes is better equipped.
Or to put this another way - a person who reads the bible alone and does not consult Vine's dictionary does not understand as much as someone who has read Vine's. Does this mean Vine's is "superior to the Bible"? Not really, it just means the Bible alone does not give enough context to understand what Paul is talking about.
