Maria - Blood on the Trail

I discredited the Baptist Successionism argument but did not prove the Catholic Church. That I have done elsewhere. You may want to check out my book Crossing the Tiber. Sacraments and relics are very biblical, you just have to understand the Bible more carefully and remember it was a book collected and codified by the bishops of the Catholic Church. That is a question only God can answer. Therefore, we live in hope, according to the Teaching of St. So, then, wait patiently, Christ is coming: Look at the context of that verse.

Do you keep the Commandments? John was talking about. You can claim to save yourself and teach others to claim they save themselves all you want. But the truth is that we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ: Only those doctrines that Baptists hold in common with the Catholic Church can be traced back to Jesus and the Disciples.

It really goes without saying. The Baptists did not come into being until well after the Protestant Revolution. The group did not exist before that time. There are many ways to do so. One way is to trace them through the Early Church Fathers. They will take you through the centuries to the beginning of Christianity and the Teachings of the Jesus Christ and the Apostles.

Another way is to find them in Scripture. The two examples you mention are found in these verses:. The Sacraments — Hebrews 6: All the Sacraments are effusions of the Holy Spirit and therefore can all be described as Baptisms of the Holy Spirit. And of course, in the Sacrament of Baptism we wash away our sins calling on the name of the Lord.

And it is in the Sacrament of Confession that we give account of our sins to our priests and we submit to and obey their recommendations for our penance to make satisfaction for our sins and to repent and avoid those sins in the future. This is an example of the Sacrament of Confirmation being applied to baptized Christians in Scripture.

Either one will do. I will show you how the pillars of the Baptist sect contradict Scripture. First of all, the Bible is the word of God. The word of God is without error. I prefer the Douay Rheims in English. En primer lugar, la Biblia es la palabra de Dios. La palabra de Dios es sin error. I am the son of a fundamentalist Baptist preacher. I was taught that there have always been Baptists the true Christians ever since the Apostles. They were hiding out in caves for 1, years. Catholics destroyed all evidence of their existence. There are references to entire households being converted and baptized, but we orthodox cannot prove, just from Scripture, that these households had infants, and neither can Baptists and evangelicals prove, just from Scripture, that they did not.

Christians are commanded by Christ to go into all the world and preach the Gospel and to baptize all nations. No age restrictions are mentioned.

Deep down, I believe nothing will change until middle class and working class Americans take to the streets, the way minorities do. Demonstrations, lots of noise and antagonism. No violence is necessary, but much ruckus, much yellling and outrage. The PTB never have to worry about law abiding white and Asian middle class folk taking to the streets. They should have to.

Demonstrations in huge numbers work. Demonstrations will never work again.

Witness the Occupy movement. It was a legit movement but the elities simply infiltrated it and destoyed it. This has happened time and time again. Perhaps The Art of War would come in handy if one wants to figure out how to affect change. I work full time and I took vacation days and spent my vacation money to start a tea party and be active for 3 years. At some point middle class people are going to have to man up. A California woman was raped and murdered, and it is an illegal alien who perpetrated the crime ….

This is so confusing. Sue the hell out of the local govt, and anyone who was in authority when the proposition in question was passed. I do believe the POtuS also mentioned that. They broke ground on the new County Jail here in Santa Maria last month. Seems like a burgeoning business opportunity! Build prisons on assembly lines in a lego block plug together unit configuration, place them on re-inforced concrete pads, fit all prisoners with bio sensors and staff the joints with robots with only minimal human remote oversight. Ought to be really profitable, IMO!

I just saw this http: Charges of Murder need to be filed against the ones enacting these laws. It as if they did it themselves or at least, they are accessories to the murder s. Legal action should be taken directly against Obama. If not now, when he leaves office. This man must be made to pay for his crimes. Reblogged this on Centinel and commented:.

Some time later I saw the 2nd book in the series, confined that I would like these books when I got a round to reading them I bought that book also.

Just last week I saw the 3rd book in the series and bought that one also. Well I decided at that point if I was going to keep buying them I should read them. I was right I did enjoy this 1st book and I am reading the 2nd. This book was a great introduction to the series. Keira is a great character that takes care of herself but accepts help when needed. I am glad this is a series; I can not wait to read more. Jun 20, Wendy Hines rated it liked it. Currently, she has an affinity for the dead. Adam Walker is a vampire. So when Kiera moves back to Texas, Adam makes plans to purchase and open up a ranch for tourists.

When they run into one another one evening, all the old attraction flares up and this time, they both feel ready to travel down the path of passion. Rich in paranormal activity, passionate and romantic moments, and a murder to solve is just the icing on the cake. From the opening sentence I know the dead and the dead know me , it just grabs hold of your imaging and refuses to let go. At times chilling, bordering on turning this into a thriller, Maria Lima certainly knows how to get the blood pumping.

She also knows seduction, she makes eating a steak an erotic experience, without a hit of flesh being shown! I am goes down as the year of the great debuting author! Speaking of Keira our heroine , Ms Lima has created a whole set of really really cool characters. Matters of the Blood is very well written. The story flows, the characters are likeable, believable and interesting. There is a level of emotional engagement that makes you really get involved in the story and want to keep reading.

I am so looking forward to seeing what happens in the rest of the series, I just hope the momentum continues. This is certainly a page turner! I loved the book it was great from the very first page. It's about Keira Kelly apart of a paranormal family how they moved to Canada but she stayed behind. In staying behind she was given the task of taking care of her total human cousin Marty.

Marty was a total screw up but ran the funeral parlor where he worked pretty well but it was always in need of money and most times that's why he called Keira to get money or fix other messed he got into. Keira I guess you could say this was her job watch I loved the book it was great from the very first page. It is not determined if she'll be like her family as shifters but she is having various situations happen to her.

Then Marty is murdered and she does not know how to react since for her family this is apart of life but since she lives among humans she knows she has to exhibit grief. But who's leading the case an old fame from her past Carlton Larson who is now married and has kids of his own but reading the story Also, there is another gentleman who has moved into the outskirt of town Adam Walker fine and sexy as hell and the attraction between them is hot!

But he or is range is mixed up in this murder of Marty and Adam is more than what he seems and Keira does not know it at first. I would recommend this book to all UF and Paranormal fans this book it funny, action pack and just a great read.

The Rio Seco is a small town in Texas, whose only claim to fame is hunting for rich people. The town has problems with all the new ranches popping up and then there are super natural creatures which are not out in the open. This book gives some interesting background that did not really go anywhere in this book so I am hoping the next book is better. For example in the first half Keira is having all these visions yet in the second half nada, nunca, none.

I did like her brother but the end part with his relationship, I had some trouble following.

Actually I had trouble following the relationship between Keira and Alex Then I also had a minor issue and that was the word "shit" placed in the oddest places, personally it was really distracting. Over all I think the book has interesting potential, despite the flaws. I may read the next one if it comes my way but I am not going to seek it out. Mar 19, Lokki rated it liked it. Matters of the Blood is the first installment of Lima's Blood Lines series and it provides a decent start to this new series.

Keira Kelly, is something other than human. What exactly she is though is unclear. A descendant of a paranormal family, Keira doesn't know what sort of powers she will possess until she undergoes the Change - She could be a mind reader, healer or shape shifter or something else entirely. While the change runs its course, she may have bits and pieces of each talent. When K Matters of the Blood is the first installment of Lima's Blood Lines series and it provides a decent start to this new series.

When Kiera starts to experience some very vivid nightmares, one of which about the murder of her not-so-intelligent and disappointingly human cousin, Marty, she passes them off as symptoms of the change. But when the first dream, about some slaughtered deer comes true, she begins to worry that she is experiencing more than just bad dreams. This well paced story is a good start to a series that holds some promise.

I liked independent-minded Keira and her best friend, Bea, has lots of one-liners to spare. Keira's shapeshifter, half-brother Tucker is also an interesting character and I hope we see more of him in the next book. Added to the mix are a couple of sexy men: Carlton the ex-lover and Adam the secret crush. These guys are full of personality and charm well maybe not so much Carlton, but he will definitely prove to be a thorn in Keira's side if nothing else.

Feb 12, Maria rated it it was amazing Shelves: It is interesting that this series is written by a Latino woman, although the protagonist is by no means "Hispanic". Her best friend is. Of course, considering the protagonist is half sidhe, half Clan a special group of supernaturals vaguely defined and with no clear origins in any tradition that I am aware of , she is definitely "other" in more ways than one.

Her love interest is a vampire quite typical: One of the most interesting thing about these books is the scathing criticism of rural Texas and probably rural America in general. There is no doubt about the political ideology of Keira--and I think it is fair to say Maria Lima too. I agree, so it is easy to deal with it, but it is probably the most openly political of all the series I've worked with.

Lots of paranormal elements in this one and a bit of a who done it as well. Keira is a half breed - but not a half human half breed, nope a half something paranormal and another half something paranormal - got the hint of shifter maybe fairy maybe who knows - guess I'll have to wait for the next one to figure that out. She's bored in her small town in Texas - she chose to move there even though most of her family - "clan" moved to Canada. She given the task of "babysitting" her cousin - who happ Lots of paranormal elements in this one and a bit of a who done it as well.

She given the task of "babysitting" her cousin - who happens to be full human - a bit of a genetic misfit for her family. Then - boom - all heck breaks loose and just to add to the complications - some pretty "hot" vampires have move in too!

I thought the story was good, not outstanding, but good - pretty quick read. I did enjoy the tension between Keira and Adam - looking forward to seeing where that leads!

Matters of the Blood

Since it's the first in the series I am willing to give the second a try and see if it draws me into her world a bit more. Sep 23, Fantasy Literature rated it liked it. Maria Lima rings some refreshing changes on the urban-fantasy formula in Matters of the Blood.

She is going through the Change which will determine which supernatural entity she will become for the remainder of her very long immortal life. Her cousin on the other hand is completely human, an outcast, and dead by suspicious means. Keira has hooked up with vampire Adam Walker who recently moved to town and purchased the resort outside of town.

Suspicous things are happening in town and seem to come right back to Adam's new ranch. Keira and Adam must join forces to figure out why her cousin has been murdered and what exactly is going on at his ranch. This is book one of a trilogy. It was ok but I just couldn't connect with any of the characters and really don't care what happens to any of them.

A sequel or two is definitely out for me. Sharon rated it liked it Shelves: I would put this really for the older Y. Jul 20, Moondance rated it liked it Shelves: I know the dead and the dead know me.

This is a well written story with interesting characters. Keira's Change is starting 20 years earlier than expected and without the support of her family until her brother Tucker shows up.

Nov 02, Darcy rated it liked it Shelves: This book intrigued me right from the start. Keira was an unusual character whose story came out drip by drip, each one making you want to know more about her and her family. I loved how she tried to be normal and her relationship with Bea, it was just so mundane that it seemed real. I also loved the play with Tucker, the sibling teasing was genuine. Marty was just such a snake that it didn't surprise me what happened to him.
