My pleasure.
Mrs. Gamecock and I took a Greek cruise for our 20th anniversary and these were some of the sights. While I don’t put much stock in Mary having lived there, it was certainly an interesting stop. Off to the side was a huge baptismal, the size of a small swimming pool. Don’t want to admit it to my Baptist brothers, but based on the size I would say they dunked new believers.
Ephesus was truly wonderful. I would like to go back one day.
Thanks for posting those pictures. They bring back a lot of fond memories. I traveled extensively in Turkey and saw the seven churches of Asia Minor. I loved Ephesus. Interesting, Philadelphia which was the only church God spoke favorably about in Revelation was the only active church still going at that time (although not using the same building). :O)
And, btw, if people could see the idolatry of some of the “Christian” churches in these countries, they would realize that indeed people do worship Mary and is promoted by the Church.
