it only makes sense for a holy book to be written in a language the people could wrap their minds around...such language becomes more and more obsolete as humans become more aware about life

Literally, we have quiet accurate translations from the original texts (or so we think). But if you mean it figuratively, I don't know if what we are seeing has to do with "language." I don't see language being changed but the very content, concepts, ideals, and purported facts that were once held to be the truth.

Good example is where will people of different religions go in the afterlife. Christians around the world have always been told that it was hell. Now in the era of telephones, video conferencing, jet planes, and most importantly: interfaith dialogue groups(!), the very biblical and Christian idea of non-Christians going to hell had quickly become out of style.

Eitherway, in hindsight, this is a very good thing. It's quiet amusing to see the latest youngsters coming fresh off the line with significantly different concepts reflecting social trends. While it is quiet disappointing to see the newer breeds and strains claiming canon-status (lol), Christianity's trend towards a more deistic, easy-style spirituality ruled by convenience is positively encouraging.
