I'm not against Bible study or Bible reading, but the confusion of the Bible with God or the Spirit.
You said "Christ is the Word and so is the Bible". Well, there is a problem with that because that means Christ is the Bible, or God is the Bible, that's why this view is more or less Bibliolatry.
Matthew 22:29 Jesus said "Jesus replied, "Your mistake is that you don't know the Scriptures, and you don't know the power of God.". It is clear that we must know the Scriptures, and we also must know the Spirit.
The problem is when people think that the Scriptures is the power of God or the Spirit. In the Bible, the Scripture and the Spirit are clearly separated. This is why we do not find phrases such as "Jesus healed the sick after He studied the bible", or "the more we know the Bible the more Spirit we will get". We do not even find a phrase "then Jesus and the disciples had a bible study".
I will bring your attention to another example of Bibliolatry in this article:
https://gotquestions.org/Bible-God-Word.html
The article says " If the Bible is the Word of God, then to dismiss it is to dismiss God Himself.". In other words, they are saying the Bible = God.
The Bible never says that if we come to the Bible we come to God, or if we reject the Bible we reject God. If that were true then these words of Christ would not make sense:
John 5:39 "You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,"
John 5:40 "yet you refuse to come to me to have life."
It is clear from John 5:39 it is possible to come to the Scriptures and yet not come to God. We just come to God by prayer and faith.
