"The KJV is not for today. It is not written in the English language understood today. (The same could be said about Latin)." The significant difference between any living language and English and Latin is that the living languages continue to evolve and introduce variation and error into contemporaneous interpretations, whereas Latin is dead. There will always need to be updates and re-translations of Scripture into modern languages to ensure their continued fidelity. Latin, on the other hand is set in stone, it's meanings are fixed and therefore timeless. That is why it also remains the language of science and law.

Good point. Although in trying to reach the masses with the “good News” it must be done in the language they understand. We aren't expecting the unsaved to learn Latin before being saved? I doubt this is His plan.
