Maybe Riplinger taught that in her Age Bible Versions which I read back in the late 90's but I didn't pick up on it or believe it then. After being exposed to the idea here I find that is the position I hold. Nothing else is possible.

Hi Jen. I too have often heard this ridiculous complaint that we worship the KJB. I then tell them that I do no such thing. I do not have an altar in my home dedicated to the King James Bible complete with candles and burning incense. I do not bow down to it nor do I pray to it. Instead I mark it up with my pen; I underline certain passages and draw lines and arrows on its pages. I have dripped coffee on a few of its pages and a couple of them keep getting stuck together because I had strawberry jam on my fingers one day. I then toss it in the back of my car when I go to Bible study, and don't get too upset when my dog walks on the cover. No, I do not worship the King James Bible but the Author of it. There is a huge difference.
The only reason they bring up this ridiculous charge is because they do not believe that any Book is the pure and perfect words of God, so they have to come up with some cute label like "KJV worshiper" to mock our belief in the Book that tells us of Him whom we
do worship.
