Q: "In what sense one should approach the Bible,- for knowledge or for understanding?"
A: Neither. Wisdom according to the world does it for self. Improve what without a standard is a wild goose chase. Wisdom from heaven sets the standard: Be ye holy for I am holy. Knowledge of the holy is understanding. As such skills that God a Spirit calls for is different.
The Bible is God breathed and its purpose is in instruction in righteousness. (2 Ti.3:16-17). So the Spirit has pressed human hands to shape the literal text in a manner it can be used at different levels. The Spirit is the author so doctrinally it cannot be bettered. God is perfect so his word is perfect "for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." In short furnishing a man perfect unto all good works is what insisted upon. If truth be told and obeyed what heresy can rear its head? The devil is in details by which scholarship of carnal minds have let these loose. These are the tares sown by the enemy while a child of God nodded.
The text is like the shirt front with seven buttons with accompanying eyes so the button has to go into the right button hole. The Spirit has set the buttons and also holes which when correctly placed it is called, wisdom from heaven. "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God./ Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual." (1 Co.2:12-13) Without setting the everlasting covenant stated in the first chapter of Genesis and Ch.2:1-3 as set by Law of the Spirit, no one can be called to blessed in his Son. He has his volume in which all the blessings of seven days are equally distributed. No nation no man is exempt from the covenant. He has to be taught by the Spirit. Remember if one button is misplaced it affects the entire.
