Hi,
I'm Lily. I'm new to this site. I'm been seeking God and learning new things for the past year. Im pretty naive to a lot, and coming into reading the bible can be a challenge for me because of the various opinions and interpretations. So excuse me for my ignorance.
I have a burning question. I was recently introduced to Janet Magiera's Aramaic Peshitta New Testament translation and I liked it. I mentioned it to someone and they went on about how they don't trust the translation because she supposedly said in her book that the capital of Babylon was Constantnipole and to his knowledge, that is absolutely incorrect.
I know this sounds silly, but I have begun to study with this person and being new to this Id like to know who I can trust and believe. Im not
Much of a history Person, but as I'm reading the bible, I'm learning that history is very important.. So can anyone tell me what they know about this, as well as what they think about Janet Magiera's translation? Coming into the bible can be much for a person who is new to this as well, and it's easy to be mislead. I may stop studying with this man because he seems to teach things that seem a bit wrong and but challenges me and plays it off as I don't know much.
Also anything that could accurately as possible explain truthfully biblical history would be a major help as well.
Thanks.
