I've read through the entire Bible several times in my life--I've NEVER seen a reference to "this version is only for those who live in the 'Old World'.

Of course not. The Bible books were written long before anyone in the Old World KNEW of the existence of the Americas. There was no "OLD WORLD" until after the 'discovery of "THE NEW world."("OLD" and "NEW" are man's titles...even though the Americas are every bit as old as the other. It's man's labels, not God's.)

that is why none of the American lands are mentioned in the Bible while all the "Old World" lands ARE.

But GOD knew the Americas were here and the peoples thereof. They were as much His as of the Old World.

Maybe that's what Jesus referred to when He said "King James Bible - "And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd."?

I don't claim to know. The Apostles didn't know. The Bible simply records what He said.

What? Um, GOD wrote the bible. That's what scripture means: "God breathed", in case you didn't know that. And I'm guessing He knew all about ALL the lands which HE CREATED (not "organized").

So where is all the evidence for these nephites and lamanites? They should by all measure of archaeology have archaeological finds all over the place, so pray, tell us where the cities of the bom lands are and have been recognized by the archaeological community?

As the Samaritan woman found out; Jesus was sent to the JEWS. The OTHER sheep are the Gentiles (That means non-JEW to you MORMONs).

The fold of whom Jesus spoke were the Jews to whom He was speaking. The other fold were the gentiles to whom Jesus sent Peter, Paul, Barnabas, Silas, Timothy, etc. Your effort to fabricate confusion is duly noted ... in the Lord’s councils. Beware your heretical efforts, FRiend.

Some claim these are Gentiles to be grafted in. I believe they are the Jews that were still in Babylonia. If you have read the scripture, when Christ said he was preparing to go away the diciples thought he was going to these “people beyond the river”.
