Only if people like you keep making an issue of it. To the vast majority of unbelievers, it's completely irrelevant. The differences between major translations don't affect core doctrines at all, and any could be used in a witnessing context. What matters is telling them God's word, and that is available in many translations. The issue is even irrelevant to most Christians. They have other, more important concerns.

Well, most Christians are ignorant of the issue and don’t study their bible. The most important of all doctrines is affected...the validity and trustworthiness of Scripture. Can I trust everything that Gods has said? If I can’t trust parts of it, why should I trust any of it? And who is man to say which parts I should trust and which parts to change?
Unless you personally know "most Christians", which you don't, how would you know? That's just a convenient claim with no evidence.
Ah... so you believe that the Person and work of Jesus Christ are secondary? Good to know; it explains your cultic mindset.
I can demonstrate the reliability of Scripture with any major translation. Apparently, you can't. That's not my problem.

No. Why should it be? Besides, you have not really worded your complaint properly. It is more like, Christians vary in their preference for which Bible to use. That we do not agree on which is best for us individually is secondary. Why should that concern non-believers? Their books are also re-published in updated versions, but they rarely see their hypocrisy. Double standards are standard for them. Also, if you spend any time at all talking to non-believers, you will find them all too ready to complain and criticize Christians for any little thing.

E
It does not have to be a word for word. But that is what the KJV is considered.
you scream God can perfectly translate in any language, but yet preach he only did it in one language, and that language being a dead language today.
again, the English language is the problem. The KJV being a word for word, is limited by the ability of the language to properly interpret that language from which it is interpreted from.
the English language can not do that, it is a poor language with many flaws and is limited in what it can do

Actually, that's not what Scripture says! Rather, it says, "Being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all" (Ephesians 4:3-6). Nothing there about "Scripture".
