many historians debate on the truth behind the bible (roman c).and also many things unerathen that adds, redirect, or divert some issues behind the written content of the holy book?.. there aree some cases where some claims about an issue far more different of what does the bible says e.g the issue of jesus birthday.. the issue of holy trinity.. .. ?. dont you think about that?..

Chrisianity has been throught a number of twists. Protestant reformation, council of nicea, etc. I'd guess we could reform again, but christianity is so fractured I doubt it would be as abrupt.
I think religion in general faces a crisis of logic as more people learn to question and think independently. Many zealots even if well studied have done so on a narrow basis. If any religion is to survive it must match up with the historial evidence while striving to remain true to its origins.
We must look at the stories in context and be aware of the number of translation iterations it underwent (especially OT). What was the real purpose of the story was this a story for teaching or a recording of history, context and translation. Were some of the words and phrases symbolic instead of literal.
God has given us revealaions throughtout the ages, these revelations can be distorted even by well intentioned but misguided translators or leaders. (how misguided was the Jewish religion when Jesus came)
-------------------------------------
As for me I do think about these things...
The trinity - I question that somewhat myself.
Creation - I'm sure is symbolic
Jesus birthday - who cares
I want to carefully study "No one comes to the father except by me" and concepts of heaven and hell.

You don't have to wait for the future. Religion is pretty well twisted up right now.

i think it could have a twist but what we need to worry about is right now. not what is going to happen in the future.

Read the Gospel According to Saint John
Unlike Catholics, Protestants believe solely in the Bible.
If so, there are many verses in St John that Jesus and God are one.
John 10
38 But if I do, though you will not believe me, believe the works: that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.
John 14
26 But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you.
Chapter 10
30 I and the Father are one.
Chapter 17
11 And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou has given me; that they may be one, as we also are.
Chapter 17
21 That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22 And the glory which thou hast given me, I have given to them; that they may be one, as we also are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me; that they may be made perfect in one: and the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast also loved me.
If God has intended that man should learn His religion from a book, the Bible, surely God would have given that book to man. Christ would have given that book to man. Did He do it? He did not. Christ sent His Apostles throughout the whole universe and said, "Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you."
We must have Faith in order to be saved, and we must have Divine Faith, not human faith. Human faith will not save a man, but only Divine Faith. What is Divine Faith? It is to believe, upon the authority of God, the truths that God has revealed, that is Divine Faith. To believe all that God has taught upon the authority of God, and to believe without doubting, without hesitation. For the moment you begin to doubt or hesitate, that moment you begin to mistrust the authority of God, and, therefore, insult God by doubting His word. Divine Faith, therefore, is to believe without doubting and without hesitating. Human faith is belief upon the authority of men, on human authority. But Divine Faith is to believe without doubting, without hesitating, whatsoever God has revealed upon the authority of God, upon the Word of God.
