What could be considered as small differences can have major implementations. Even the word for god could pretty much have been interpreted as ruler or leader. Think the Pharaohs of Egypt. And yet the modern usage of the word god is a celestial space goat that decided to make the sun shine out of its ass one day, neither a ruler or a leader. Words are important, and their meanings equally so.

No arguments there. That is why the official language of the Catholic Church used to be Latin, a dead language, till Freemasonry corrupted the Church by infiltrating seminaries.

By the way, sorceries in the Book of Revelation is pharmekia in Greek, because “magicians” used to create potions to cause abortions.

With the possible exception of Mark, no book of the Bible was written in Latin.

After being translated to Latin the Catholic Church kept using Latin so no further translation differences would happen.

Why not keep using Greek or Hebrew so there would be none at all?

The Catholic Church was established in Rome and that’s why it used Latin. In the Greek Orthodox Church they use Greek, and they agree with the Catholics concerning the first 1000 years.

Yeah, with their edited Greek version. Look up Marcion to get an idea of how badly the church mingled with their books. And even Marcion's version has plenty of detectable additions and alterations. Also look at the Hebrew Matthews which retain some earlier readings not found in any canonical edition.

There was no Catholic or Orthodox division before 1000 AD. People used whatever language they knew. If they didn't want anything to be lost in translation, they would've used Greek and Hebrew and Aramaic, not Latin.
