Passage

Romans 11

• Glossary Term

  Apostle

  A descriptive compound ('one sent with a commission') conveys authorized, sent-out ministry.

  ROM.11.13

• Doctrine

  Apostleship

  Risk of reducing apostleship to a generic religious-specialist role paralleling the doudini or ओझा (folk ritual specialist) rather than a unique, authorized, Christ-commissioned office.

  ROM.11.13

• Doctrine

  Effectual Calling

  God's sovereign call that ensures the salvation of the called; must not be reheard as भागी (impersonal fate), a framing familiar from both folk belief and Brahma Dharma's ethic.

  ROM.11.29

• Glossary Term

  Election

  God's sovereign, personal choice; must be distinguished from भागी, a fate/fortune framing familiar from both folk belief and Brahma Dharma's Hindu-influenced ethic, which is impersonal rather than relational.

  ROM.11.29

• Glossary Term

  Gentiles

  Non-Jewish peoples; renders 'nation/community' (जुथुद/jothaí) with a negating prefix.

  ROM.11.17-24

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Unmerited favor cuts against two live currents at once: traditional Bathou/Kherai offerings understood as reciprocal exchange for divine protection, and Brahma Dharma's reformed merit-based ethic.

  ROM.11.5-6

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  CRITICAL: a descriptive compound meaning roughly 'freely-given gift' is required because both live comparative frameworks pull toward a transactional reading: traditional Bathou practice offers goods to Bathoubwrai and the Kherai pantheon in exchange for protection and prosperity (a reciprocal do-ut-des logic), while Brahma Dharma's reformed ethic frames divine favor in terms of accumulated पुण्य (merit).

  ROM.11.5-6

• Glossary Term

  Israel

  Proper name; standard transliteration.

  ROM.11.17-24

• Glossary Term

  Justification

  CRITICAL: a descriptive compound ('the declaration of being made righteous') is required; no single Bodo word carries the forensic, once-for-all legal-declaration sense.

  ROM.11.11

• Doctrine

  Providence

  God's personal, purposive care; never भागी (fate).

  ROM.11.33-36

• Glossary Term

  Providence

  God's personal, purposive care; never भागी (fate).

  ROM.11.33-36

• Glossary Term

  Righteousness

  CRITICAL: धार्मिकता (built on the same Sanskrit root Brahma Dharma uses for its own reformed religious-duty system) must be explicitly defined in this curriculum as right standing before God received through faith, not the reformed community's structured code of right conduct.

  ROM.11.11

• Doctrine

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: this is a genuine conceptual gap, not a wrong-existing-word problem.

  ROM.11.11

• Glossary Term

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: फोरायनाय ('being rescued/delivered') is preferred because Bathouism itself has no developed eschatological salvation concept at all -- its ritual life (Kherai puja, household sijou offerings) is oriented toward securing protection, harvest, and household prosperity in this life, not deliverance from sin or an afterlife destiny.

  ROM.11.11

• Doctrine

  Unity of Jews and Gentiles

  Must be taught with theological clarity rather than folded into contemporary Assam-region ethnic-unity rhetoric, which addresses a different (political/territorial) kind of division from the one Romans is resolving.

  ROM.11.17-24
