Your welcome.... I love questions, and if I don't know them someone else here might, and then we both get to learn what we didn't know before. So, feel free to ask them.
You can check the accuracy of any translation, if you don't know the language, by looking up the passage at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://dukhrana.com/">http://dukhrana.com/</a><!-- m --> and checking his translation against the interlinear there...if you click the KJV option as well as Lamsa's version, you can see where it sometimes will match it, rather than what is actually found in the Aramaic of the Peshitta. He does not always stick with the Eastern Peshitta text, either, and has some Western Peshitto readings here and there.
If you mean by "background", her church affiliation and or spiritual beliefs, she is some sort of Pentecostal Protestant I think, I could be wrong about that, but that is the impression I got after speaking with her a few times.
If you want to know exactly what the Eastern Peshitta, and the Western Peshitto has in it's Aramaic text, then there is no better place than at Dukhrana.com. If you need help navigating their website, let me know, as I'm always using it to study things out.
