Well Scripture alone is good for all doctrines a Christian would follow and the book you present pulls from many scriptural subjects but then contradicts a few core ones (like it denies the resurrection), hence it's false doctrine for the Christian faith.
If you're seeking to be a Christian this isn't the body of work to read & study.

No need to go crazy...
If you believe that the Son of God became a man (with the same physical flesh as you and I), was crucified to bare the sins of the world (to death and went to the grave), and then resurrected back to physical life (very important; because it proves the power of God and the salvation for us all)...then you're set. It's on that foundation that you build.
Writings like the one you found many "sound" like it's right but chip away at that foundation subtly. But there's no worries because you have the books of the bible if you're seeking deeper truths. I promise you it gets deeper than what you've read or have been exposed to so far. You just have to set aside the time to dive into it.
There are great sites that have audio of the books so you can immerse yourself in it. There are even youtube videos of the gospels...sometimes reading blocks of text can be confusing and boring, and you can miss context so use the the internet tools at your disposal.

The satanist's bible has SOME truth in it...that's why people believe it. Every 'good' lie has some truth. Can you exist on some truth? Of course. Can you know Christ by reading and following some truth? No. God's word is sufficient. Stick with that. I have to say, just from the small bit that I read, that it is the 'we are all gods' mentality and that is dangerous thinking. This is a major detour from God's rock solid word and, if you're not standing on the solid rock of God's word, you're on sinking sand.
[h=3]Psalm 82:6-7[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)
[SUP]6 [/SUP]I said, “You are gods,[SUP][a][/SUP]And all of you are children of the Most High.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]But you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes.”
[h=3]John 10:33-36[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)
[SUP]33 [/SUP]The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”
[SUP]34 [/SUP]Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’?[SUP][a][/SUP] [SUP]35 [/SUP]If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), [SUP]36 [/SUP]do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
[h=3]Revelation 1:4-6[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)
[h=3]Greeting the Seven Churches[/h][SUP]4 [/SUP]John, to the seven churches which are in Asia:
Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, [SUP]5 [/SUP]and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth.
To Him who loved us and washed[SUP][a][/SUP] us from our sins in His own blood, [SUP]6 [/SUP]and has made us kings[SUP][b][/SUP] and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
[h=3]2 Peter 1:3-5[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)
[SUP]3 [/SUP]as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, [SUP]4 [/SUP]by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
[h=3]Fruitful Growth in the Faith[/h]
[SUP]5 [/SUP]But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge
[h=3]Genesis 1:26-28[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)
[SUP]26 [/SUP]Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all[SUP][a][/SUP] the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” [SUP]27 [/SUP]So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
[h=3]Genesis 11:5-7[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)
[SUP]5 [/SUP]But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. [SUP]6[/SUP]And the Lord said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. [SUP]7 [/SUP]Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”
While we are not Yaweh, we are in the words of our own Lord "gods". Kind of stunning but its true!!! He calls us to yield our dominion unto Him. Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. We have to allow him to have His kingdom come and His will be done in our lives become the Kings of his kingdom. He came into this world not just to save us from hell but to reclaim His image in this world. We are His reCREATION and RECreation. How is it that the West has such a low view of salvation when our Lord has such a value on us. Man does with as grass without him, but then again those who live in Him can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Just something to chew on.
