Why does satan offer alternatives to the Bible?
Satan is really going the other way because he is the master of counterfeiters and he's very crafty.

In answer to your first question - No, of course not. All our worship should be based on Scripture, then we know its what God wants and not what man thinks.
In answer to your second question - because satan is going to destroyed and doesn't want any mere man (in his eyes) to have what he can't have (everlasting life). In short, he wants to take as many down with him (not into hell because that doen't exist) but to be destroyed with him as he can.
But you know, Satan is even craftier than you think. He's actually set up a counterfeit system of false worship to God on the earth right now. He has got people thinking they're serving/worshiping God when in fact they are not. Isn't that clever? Which takes us back to your first question....is our worship acceptable to God. Only by examining what we believe with the bible will we know that. :)

No, God cannot accept worship based on a lie. God cannot accept anything based on a lie. Satan offers alternatives to the Bible to try to throw people off and get them to turn away from God. That's what he does.

Telling a lie or a truth by a human being is a Karma(Action) According to the Doctrine of Karma of Hindu Religion ,the karma (action) decides, whether a person would go to hell or heaven.God does not come into the picture at all .Well directly(not through a mediator even if he is a Saint) praying God with real rependence,may mitigate the bad Karma, but not completely absolve a person from punishment( like an crimnal approver getting a less punishment but not completely absolved)

God knows every ones heart. He will only accept true worship. He knows that some people are only given the alternative Bibles, and if they are truly searching God can change their hearts. Satan will try to destroy anyone he can. He wants as many people in hell with him that he can get. We are living in the end times, and need to get the Word out about Jesus.

The Bible was canonized by the council of Hippo in the 4th century, long before Constantine lived. The Old Testament long before that - Before Christ! There are alternate translations that are valuable because they make the scripture easy to understand in the current culture without changing the context. The King James version served its purpose, but has inconsistencies that have since been updated. Steer clear of versions from LDS (mormons), Jehova's Witness or the spiritualized Catholic additions that encourage saint worship and such. I would recommend NIV, American Standard or NLT. Or get one of each and compare.

I don't really understand your question, but since people created both god and satan, they can create an answer to this question and claim it is the only right one.

No, because the lie originated with satan in the garden of eden.
God can not lie!!!

God is not mocked so he doesn't accept what you do if it is based on lies and deceit. Satan comes to steal kill and destroy, and to turn people away from God. that's why he sent his son to draw everyone back to him and his love.

a lot of people better hope so - because a lot of people worship based on the bible, edited and compiled by a pagan roman emperor!
