I know exactly how you feel. I have always wondered whether or not what we read today is what God intended for us to believe. There are so many interpretations, and over time, the original intentions are lost. In my church, some of our prayers and creeds have changed due to recent interpretations. Many of the older folks have recited these prayers since they were young, and now that a new translation has been found, we must all recite it. No longer do they recite with confidence, but they stumble on words as they read from pamphlets. I guess it's better that we now know a more accurate translation, but many are not happy with the change.
In the end, I think it's better that we always keep searching for accuracy. If we just accept things and assume they're right, we're missing out. As for what Christianity is, I think we're still learning. We seem to have a solid base, but as more texts and translations are discovered, we will have more material to make our own judgement.
