All other materials are interpretations of that truth. Some interpretations might be accurate, some might not, some might be biased and become false teachings. It becomes important to weigh up the material with the Bible and eliminate content that disregards scripture or that clearly misinterprets scripture.
A rule of thumb is that "scripture must interpret scripture"; in other words, a fact must be accurately confirmed by multiple other scriptures. If a fact is based on only one verse and clearly disregards or violates other scriptures, that fact is probably an opinion or a false (or biased) interpretation by the author. It is imperative that one keeps this in mind as you read, study, and apply what you've learned into your life or writings or teachings.
Grace and peace
