Again, interesting. God's Word is for ALL people, no matter WHERE or WHEN they are. 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'.

"For God so loved the WORLD that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting Life." John 3:16 KJV

The 'WORLD', all encompassing, not just '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.
