Passage

Romans 11

• Glossary Term

  Apostle

  A descriptive phrase ('one who has been sent') conveys authorized, commissioned ministry.

  ROM.11.13

• Doctrine

  Apostleship

  Risk of reducing apostleship to a generic religious-teacher role rather than a unique, Christ-commissioned sent office.

  ROM.11.13

• Doctrine

  Effectual Calling

  God's sovereign call that ensures the salvation of the called; not किस्मत (impersonal fate) and not the outcome of a pilgrimage vow.

  ROM.11.29

• Glossary Term

  Election

  God's sovereign, personal choice; must be distinguished from किस्मत (impersonal fate) and from the outcome-of-a-vow logic of the mannat economy.

  ROM.11.29

• Glossary Term

  Gentiles

  Non-Jewish peoples; established descriptive rendering.

  ROM.11.17-24

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Unmerited favor must be distinguished from the mannat (vow) economy surrounding the Vaishno Devi pilgrimage, in which a wish is granted in exchange for a vow or offering -- an unusually concrete, currently active transactional model in this region.

  ROM.11.5-6

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  CRITICAL: a descriptive compound ('favor given without being earned') is required because Duggar popular devotion has an unusually concrete and active transactional model close at hand: the mannat (vow) economy surrounding the Vaishno Devi shrine, where devotees pledge offerings or pilgrimages in exchange for a granted wish.

  ROM.11.5-6

• Glossary Term

  Israel

  Proper name; standard transliteration.

  ROM.11.17-24

• Glossary Term

  Justification

  CRITICAL: a compound phrase is required to carry the forensic, once-for-all legal-declaration sense; it must never be abbreviated to mere forgiveness, which loses the 'declared righteous' dimension central to Romans 4.

  ROM.11.11

• Doctrine

  Providence

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

  ROM.11.33-36

• Glossary Term

  Providence

  God's personal, purposive governance; never किस्मत (fate).

  ROM.11.33-36

• Glossary Term

  Righteousness

  CRITICAL: धरमीपन must be explicitly taught as right standing before God received through faith, not धरम in the sense of the inherited social and lineage-bound duties historically associated with Dogra Rajput identity and honor (izzat).

  ROM.11.11

• Doctrine

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: never मुक्ति (liberation from rebirth) and never framed as a wish granted through a shrine vow.

  ROM.11.11

• Glossary Term

  Salvation

  CRITICAL: उद्धार (deliverance by God through Christ) must never collapse into मुक्ति (liberation from samsara) or into the boon-granting logic of the Vaishno Devi mannat economy, in which a wish is fulfilled in exchange for a vow or pilgrimage.

  ROM.11.11

• Doctrine

  Unity of Jews and Gentiles

  Directly challenges caste and lineage-based spiritual hierarchy; must be translated with theological clarity, not softened to accommodate honor-culture sensitivities.

  ROM.11.17-24
