Third, Christianity looks to the Bible as the singular source of Truth.

This is not Biblical

This is not Biblical.

It's not? What other source of Truth is there?

Apparently, this verse doesn’t count. In St Paul’s words,”So, then, brethren stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.” (2 Thess. 2:15)

    Another thing that makes Christianity unique is its source of information. All religions have some sort of basis of information that outlines its beliefs and practices, but none have one source of information that makes the claims Christianity does about the Bible—it is the written Word of God, and it is infallible and inerrant and all that is necessary for faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16). Christians believe that the Bible is the inspired—literally “God-breathed”—Word of God and that its teaching is the final authority (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21). Though there are other religions that use prophecy, none are 100% accurate, as are those in the Bible, and none of them point to someone like Jesus who made incredible claims and performed incredible deeds.

Because only the Bible is the Divinely-inspired, written word of God, it is the rule of faith by which ANY other teachings/traditions are to be measured. That is what is meant by saying the Bible is "the singular source of Truth".
