The Catechism Says: “The Man Pontiff... enjoys this infallibility in virtue of his office, when, as supreme pastor and teacher of all the faithful - who confirms his brethren in the faith - he proclaims by a definitive act a doctrine pertaining to faith or morals... This infallibility extends as far as the deposit of divine Revelation itself.”
Catechism #891
The Bible Says: "I am the LORD thy God … Thou shalt have no other gods before me." Exodus 20:2-3
"For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men…and he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.…making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do."Mark 7:8, 9, 13
"If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:20
There is a reason why faith is sometimes preceded by the word "blind" because faith can never be produced from falsehood

Satan is the AntiChrist. It makes sense that he would have an AntiBible.

Why do you feel the need to ask the question twice?
More to the point, I'm going to guess that the catechism you quote is not the Catholic catechism. Where did you get this catechism? Who wrote it? Yeah, the papal authority thing does get overhyped a lot by the overly devout but this catechism does betray a little bias. As for the Exodus quote, the pope never claims to be God, and doesn't even claim to be "infallible" except in very limited circumstances. (The faculty has been used exactly twice since it was proclaimed, only for very esoteric proclamations about Mary.) The Mark quote runs into the same problem as your catechism quote, which "tradition of men" wins?
Why would Satan even need an alternative to the Bible? There are plenty of opportunities for mischief in the original, and plenty of people who have already exploited them.

Satan does have an antibible, and it friggen rocks. I will admit though, the cookies the dark side has to offer have a very bitter after taste. Satan is to lead the people away from god, to test the human race indivdualy, and to work the human race against itself. What better way to work the human race against itself than to get people to do what it wants, while it confuses those who don't follow it, and then let all the people fight it out. The world is in a win win situation already, but who is that win win for?

satan wants us deceived- anywhere off the path that God has for us- there is so much tradition of man- look at christmas- Christ was born at the time of the Jewish New Year- end of September- then there are the other 9 commandments- the Sabbath starts Fri at sunset and ends Sat at sundown= the list goes on for traditions of man- look into the history of the Catholic church and see who put the Holy Days into pagan days- and there are those that have faith in a lie-

God's Word is truth....If we all had the kind of faith Jesus had , and PRACTISED it, there would be no wars and there would be no RELIGION to mess up people and the world. All would be worshiping and serving one GOD and there would be peace and harmony on the earth... Keep reading the Bible: author: GOD and put the catechism away... author: MAN
p.s. It would help if you asked someone who studies the Bible to answer your Bible questions... make sure they give you BIBLE BASED answers

Satan is evil but he isn't dumb. It's easier to get people if they think there is a quicker or easier way, or if he flatters their "intelligence". Look at most of the atheists, they are almost always convinced they have a superior intelligence. The devil loves confusion, it's easier to get a confused person to follow, simply because they are confused. Most people think you have to "work" for yoursalvation, so there are way too many people trying to work their way into heaven when the Bible says ""whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life" how hard is that?

It is your right to consider blind faith a virtue if you like. For myself, I believe blind faith is the ultimate foolishness. As for Satan...I believe Satan is a fascinating fictional character. John Milton does a wonderful job of exploring his inner contradictions in _Paradise Lost_.

SATAN IS INCREDIBLY TALENTED AND INTELLIGENT. DOES HE NOT KNOW OUR OWN STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES? HE THINKS THAT HE CAN DO A BETTER JOB THAN GOD. HE WANTS THIS OPPORTUNITY AND HE'LL GO TO ALL ENDS TO ACHIEVE IT.REMEMBER JOB? HE THINKS THAT IF HE CAN PROVE ONE SCRIPTURE IN THE BIBLE AS FALSE THAT THE WHOLE BOOK BECOMES NULL AND VOID. TRULEY I SAY TO YOU THAT THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN. THOSE IN POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY THAT ALTER OR MANIPULATE THE GOSPEL FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL AGGRANDIZEMENT WILL STAND ACCOUNTABLE. DOES THIS HELP?
GOD BLESS

The devil's tactic for creating imitations is.. he can't get rid of the real thing so he creates clones, copies, of "god."

Satan doesn't. Humans do. It's all human.
Check where these bible variations are from, you'll find humans involved.
