This is true, but irrelevant to the argument. Ima could admit this without damaging her argument.
Ima is arguing that SN must be true because the Bible teaches it.

The Bible teaches that we ought to obey God. But it isn't concerned with whether God's will makes things good (as supernaturalism holds) or whether some things are good of their very nature (and so God commands them because they're already good). The later view rejects supernaturalism but is consistent with the Bible.
So the Bible doesn't really take a stand for or against supernaturalism.
