Why wasn't the bible written in plain language so that the rest of the world could understand it better? I mean did the people of the era really talk the way the bible is written?

Yes they did and the Bible was written in a language that was most common at that time.

If they tried to translate it into modern english, there would be a never-ending furor over correct interpretations, which parts should be taken literally, etc. I'm sure the Church sees the benefit in keeping it good and ambiguous, so they don't have to talk about the more evil parts (i.e. most of Leviticus) in words that most people can understand.

Because if it was written clearly- it would make little sense- the old time langauge makes it easier to accept- in other words its all bullshit and they really dont want u to understand it fully cause u might figure it out ( that its total bullshit).

The Old Testament..which is pretty old was originally written in Hebrew..and Hebrew is one of the oldest languages. It is possible that people spoke like that..but not everyone knew how to read or write Hebrew.

Which translation of the Bible are you talking about? And what language? The language of the King James version of the Bible IS in the English of the time it was written. Modern translations into English are in the English spoken in OUR time. Other nationalities have their own translations as well into the languages of their peoples. Unless you are very conversant with ancient Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, your native tongue is as plain as it's gonna get.
