Has Christianity “evolved” into something that the founders did not intend?
Religion has always been about power and control of the masses (of people). However today Christianity is also a huge for-profit business for the Vatican, the Baptist churches, the Presbitarians, and for the numerous branches and sects that Christianity has. Very ofter you see churches the size of small cities, state of the art equipment, and pastors living the millionaire lifestyle, while the middle class and poor followers take food off their table so that they can tithe 10% of their incomes to these rich establishments.
Christianity is supposed to mean “Christ-Like”, but many have gotten away from this ideal. And many refuse to believe that Jesus actual threw the Money changers out of the temple (people selling things and making god into a business). Also Jesus is here for all people not just the White or The Red or The Brown. Believe that Jesus is the son of God, and be saved. As far as translations of the word of God, and Jesus, talk to the Catholics, The King James Bible was their transltion. They chose what to keep in it or trash out of it. All other religions are doomed to end up as other religions.
