Doctrine Analysis: Matthew 1–28 (Full Book Coverage)

Purpose

This document provides the complete doctrine matrix for the Matthew curriculum, extending the Romans baseline doctrine_risk_registry.json conventions to every chapter of Matthew, first to last. It is fully consistent with the companion assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json produced in this same step: same 44 doctrines, same risk tiers, same review routing. This file adds the chapter-by-chapter coverage trace the registry’s flat structure does not itself display, so that Phase 2 processing can confirm no chapter was silently skipped.

Per the PRD Phase 1 mandate, the core passage (Matthew 5:1-12, the Beatitudes) is the theological anchor of this curriculum, not its scope boundary. Every chapter 1–28 is accounted for below, including chapters that surface no new doctrine beyond material already tracked elsewhere — these are explicitly marked “reviewed, no new doctrinal load” rather than omitted.

Risk tier definitions are inherited exactly from the baseline:

• Critical — mistranslation alters or destroys essential doctrine; human theologian review required for every occurrence.
• High — mistranslation creates significant theological confusion or syncretism risk; human theologian review required.
• Medium — mistranslation reduces clarity but preserves essential meaning; native speaker review recommended.
• Low — mistranslation causes minor misunderstanding or imprecision; automated review sufficient.

Part 1 — Master Doctrine Matrix

#	Doctrine	Kannada Doctrine Name	Risk	Key Supporting Passages (Matthew)	Translation Risk	Review Routing
1	The Kingdom of Heaven	ಪರಲೋಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ	Critical	3:2; 4:17; 5:3-10; 12:28; 13:1-52; 19:14; 25:1-46	ಪರಲೋಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ must never be rendered ಸ್ವರ್ಗ ರಾಜ್ಯ — ಸ್ವರ್ಗ names a merit-based, temporary Hindu paradise within the rebirth cycle. Kingdom of God (ದೇವರ ರಾಜ್ಯ) occurrences (12:28, 19:24 par., 21:31, 21:43) must be kept referentially linked to but lexically distinct from ಪರಲೋಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ.	Human theologian
2	Jesus as the Promised Messiah and Son of David	ಮೆಸ್ಸೀಯನ ವಾಗ್ದಾನ ಮತ್ತು ದಾವೀದನ ಮಗ	Critical	1:1; 9:27; 15:22; 20:30-31; 21:9; 22:41-46	Must be kept distinct from Krishna-avatar associations and from an exceptionally realized human Sharana teacher. ದಾವೀದನ ಮಗ (confessional title) vs. ದಾವೀದನ ವಂಶದಿಂದ (bare lineage) must remain lexically separate.	Human theologian
3	Fulfillment of Old Testament Prophecy	ಪ್ರವಾದನೆಯ ನೆರವೇರಿಕೆ	High	1:22-23; 2:15,17,23; 4:14-16; 8:17; 12:17-21; 13:35; 21:4-5; 27:9	Linear, one-time historical fulfillment via ನೆರವೇರಿಸು; must not be assimilated to cyclical yuga cosmology or Lingayat stage-by-stage ascent.	Human theologian
4	Incarnation and Virgin Birth	ದೇಹಧಾರಣೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕನ್ಯಾ ಜನನ	Critical	1:18-25	NEVER ಅವತಾರ. ಕನ್ಯೆ must never soften to ಯುವತಿ. Distinct risk for Lingayat readers (Sharana-attainment reading) and Haridasa readers (avatar reading).	Human theologian
5	Deity of Christ	ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ದೇವತ್ವ	Critical	1:23; 3:17; 9:2-6; 14:33; 17:5; 28:9; 28:17-18	Co-equal, undiminished divine nature; Jesus’ pronouncement of forgiveness (9:2-6) must not be flattened to mere prophetic authority.	Human theologian
6	Sonship of Christ	ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಪುತ್ರತ್ವ	Critical	3:17; 4:3,6; 14:33; 16:16; 17:5; 26:63-64; 27:54	Eternal, unique Sonship — must remain lexically distinct from the plural, derived “sons of God” applied to believers (5:9, 5:45).	Human theologian
7	Son of Man: Authority and Judgment	ಮನುಷ್ಯಕುಮಾರನ ಅಧಿಕಾರ ಮತ್ತು ನ್ಯಾಯತೀರ್ಪು	Critical	8:20; 9:6; 12:8,40; 16:27-28; 24:27,30,37,44; 25:31; 26:64	ಮನುಷ್ಯಕುಮಾರ must not flatten to “a human being,” losing the Danielic exalted-judge sense; complementary to, not lesser than, “Son of God.”	Human theologian
8	The Authority of Jesus’ Teaching	ಯೇಸುವಿನ ಬೋಧನೆಯ ಅಧಿಕಾರ	High	5:21-48; 7:28-29; 21:23-27; 28:18-20	ಅಧಿಕಾರ = inherent, self-possessed authority, distinct from guru authority derived from lineage or ascetic attainment; “you have heard… but I say” must not soften to one rabbi’s opinion.	Human theologian
9	Fulfillment of the Law	ನಿಯಮಶಾಸ್ತ್ರದ ನೆರವೇರಿಕೆ	High	5:17-20; 22:36-40	NEVER ಧರ್ಮ. ನಿಯಮಶಾಸ್ತ್ರ preserves the specific Mosaic-covenantal referent Jesus claims authority to fulfill, not abolish.	Human theologian
10	Righteousness Exceeding the Pharisees	ಫರಿಸಾಯರನ್ನು ಮೀರಿದ ನೀತಿವಂತಿಕೆ	Critical	5:6,10,20; 6:1-18; 15:1-20; 23:1-36	Must not read as “more meritorious religious achievement,” collapsing into the very Pharisaism critiqued or into self-attained Lingayat ascent. Spirit-produced heart-transformation, not external compliance.	Human theologian
11	Repentance	ಪಶ್ಚಾತ್ತಾಪ	High	3:2,8; 4:17; 11:20-21; 12:41	Must be distinguished from ಪ್ರಾಯಶ್ಚಿತ್ತ (self-performed ritual expiation/karmic offset); biblical repentance is inward, Spirit-enabled reorientation.	Human theologian
12	Baptism	ದೀಕ್ಷಾಸ್ನಾನ	Critical	3:6,11,13-17; 28:19	Risk of collapsing into ದೀಕ್ಷೆ, the Lingayat guru-administered iṣṭaliṅga initiation rite. Christian baptism is once-for-all identification with Christ’s death/resurrection in the Triune Name, not a guru-mediated community entry rite.	Human theologian
13	Beatitudes and Kingdom Character (Core Passage)	ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳ ರಾಜ್ಯಸ್ವಭಾವ	High	5:1-12	ಧನ್ಯ = God’s declared favor, not merit-badge (ಪುಣ್ಯ) or subjective happiness (ಸಂತೋಷ). “Poor in spirit” (ಆತ್ಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಡವರು): ಆತ್ಮ must read as human inner disposition only, never Vedantic ātman/Aikya-destined soul, never conflated with ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮ.	Human theologian
14	Discipleship and the Cost of Following Jesus	ಶಿಷ್ಯತ್ವ ಮತ್ತು ಅನುಸರಣೆಯ ಬೆಲೆ	High	4:18-22; 8:18-22; 10:37-39; 16:24-26; 19:27-29	ಶಿಷ್ಯ overlaps with guru-shishya paramparā vocabulary; requires standing note that Christian discipleship is single, exclusive, lifelong allegiance, not one stage in a multi-teacher path. ಶಿಲುಬೆ must retain literal shameful-execution force, not soften to ಕಷ್ಟ.	Human theologian
15	Spiritual Warfare and Temptation	ಶೋಧನೆ ಮತ್ತು ಆತ್ಮಿಕ ಯುದ್ಧ	Medium	4:1-11; 6:13; 13:19,38-39; 16:23	Prefer transliterated ಸೈತಾನ over ದೆವ್ವ (generic folk ghost-spirit), to preserve Satan’s unique, singular, personal identity.	Native speaker review
16	Providence and Freedom from Anxiety	ದೇವರ ಪರಿಪಾಲನೆ	High	6:25-34; 10:29-31	Vulnerable to absorption into ಹಣೆಬರಹ (fatalism) or impersonal karma; must be taught as a personal Father’s purposive care.	Human theologian
17	The Lord’s Prayer and Adoption	ಕರ್ತನ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನೆ ಮತ್ತು ದತ್ತು ಪುತ್ರತ್ವ	High	6:9-13	ತಂದೆ = intimate yet reverent personal Father, distinct from impersonal ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಕರ್ತ; daily-bread petition must avoid fatalistic framing.	Human theologian
18	Forgiveness and Grace within the Community	ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕೃಪೆ	High	6:12,14-15; 18:21-35	Must preserve grace-flows-to-grace logic (Unforgiving Servant), not a karma-style merit exchange or reciprocal payment.	Human theologian
19	The Church and Church Discipline	ಸಭೆ ಮತ್ತು ಸಭಾ ಶಿಸ್ತು	High	16:18-19; 18:15-20	ಸಭೆ never ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನ/ಮಂದಿರ; must remain visually distinct from ಮಹಾಸಭೆ (Sanhedrin, 26:59) despite shared root. Bind-and-loose requires standing note distinguishing derived church authority from folk mantra-based binding/curse rituals.	Human theologian
20	Keys of the Kingdom and Delegated Authority	ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಬೀಗದ ಕೈಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿತ್ವ ಅಧಿಕಾರ	High	16:19	Derived, stewardship authority under Christ’s own supreme authority (7:29; 28:18) — never an independent priestly power comparable to self-attained guru authority.	Human theologian
21	Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit	ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮನಿಗೆ ವಿರುದ್ಧವಾದ ದೂಷಣೆ	Critical	12:31-32	Ties directly to ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮ (never ಪರಮಾತ್ಮ). Attributing the Spirit’s clearly divine work to Satan is uniquely unforgivable; handle with maximal precision.	Human theologian
22	Transfiguration and the Glory of Christ	ರೂಪಾಂತರ ಮತ್ತು ಮಹಿಮೆ	High	17:1-8	A momentary unveiling of Christ’s already-existing glory, not a new descent or repeatable divine “form-change” as in regional devotional literature.	Human theologian
23	Resurrection of Christ	ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಪುನರುತ್ಥಾನ	Critical	12:39-40; 16:21; 17:9,23; 20:19; 22:23-32; 27:62-66; 28:1-10	NEVER ಪುನರ್ಜನ್ಮ. Bodily, historical, once-for-all; the sign of Jonah is a fixed foretold pattern, not a spontaneous later claim.	Human theologian
24	Atonement and Ransom	ವಿಮೋಚನಾ ಕ್ರಯ	Critical	20:28; 26:26-28; 27:46	Must preserve vicarious, substitutionary “in place of many” sense; must not drift toward bare-liberation reading assimilable to forbidden ಮುಕ್ತಿ/ಮೋಕ್ಷ. The cry of dereliction (27:46) must not be softened.	Human theologian
25	The New Covenant	ಹೊಸ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆ	High	26:26-29	Reuse ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆ exactly; requires OT covenant background (Jeremiah 31) for low-OT-literacy audience.	Human theologian
26	Universal Scope and Gentile Inclusion	ಸಾರ್ವತ್ರಿಕ ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಅನ್ಯಜನಾಂಗದವರ ಸೇರ್ಪಡೆ	High	2:1-12; 8:5-13; 15:21-28; 28:19	Real resonance with Lingayat anti-caste history, but must retain unqualified universality of gospel invitation without collapsing into a merely social-reform parallel.	Human theologian
27	The Great Commission	ಮಹಾ ಆಜ್ಞಾಪನೆ	Critical	28:16-20	ಶಿಷ್ಯರನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿರಿ inherits the guru-shishya disambiguation caution. Trinitarian formula (ತಂದೆ, ಪುತ್ರ, ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮ) must render exactly per baseline.	Human theologian
28	Judgment and the End of the Age	ನ್ಯಾಯತೀರ್ಪು ಮತ್ತು ಯುಗದ ಅಂತ್ಯ	Critical	13:24-30,36-43,47-50; 24:1-51; 25:1-46	AVOID building the rendering on ಯುಗ (cyclical Hindu cosmic ages). Matthew’s end is linear, one-time, final consummation.	Human theologian
29	Eternal Punishment and Hell	ನಿತ್ಯ ಶಿಕ್ಷೆ ಮತ್ತು ನರಕ	Critical	5:22,29-30; 10:28; 18:9; 23:15,33; 25:41,46	ನರಕ retained (no unproblematic alternative) but must be distinguished from Hindu naraka’s temporary, karma-purging function; Matthew’s γέεννα is final and irrevocable.	Human theologian
30	Eternal Life	ನಿತ್ಯ ಜೀವ	High	19:16,29; 25:46	Same Greek adjective αἰώνιος describes both eternal life and eternal punishment in the same verse (25:46); both must use the identical permanence-word ನಿತ್ಯ.	Human theologian
31	The Renewal of All Things	ಲೋಕದ ನವೀಕರಣ	Critical	19:28	NEVER any compound built on ಜನ್ಮ (birth) — high accidental-reincarnation-coinage risk from the Greek root itself. Single cosmic renewal, not a repeating cycle.	Human theologian
32	The Parousia (Second Coming)	ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಪುನರಾಗಮನ	Critical	16:27; 24:3,27,37,39	ಪುನರಾಗಮನ shares the “punar-” root with forbidden ಪುನರ್ಜನ್ಮ and with ಪುನರುತ್ಥಾನ; must never be allowed to drift toward a reincarnation reading. Single, visible, bodily, historical return.	Human theologian
33	Worship of Christ	ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಆರಾಧನೆ	High	2:2,11; 8:2; 14:33; 28:9,17	ಆರಾಧಿಸು reserved for worship due exclusively to God/Christ; never ಪೂಜಿಸು, which would place Christ within a polytheistic puja frame.	Human theologian
34	Mercy and “the Least of These”	ಕರುಣೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕಿರಿಯ ಸಹೋದರರು	Medium	5:7; 9:13; 25:31-46	Active compassion reciprocating mercy already received; must not read as a merit-earning act securing divine mercy in a karma-style bargain.	Native speaker review
35	Stewardship and Reward	ಪ್ರತಿಫಲ ಮತ್ತು ನಂಬಿಗಸ್ತಿಕೆ	Medium	5:12; 10:41-42; 20:1-16; 25:14-30	ಪ್ರತಿಫಲ requires a standing note guarding against a wage/merit misreading; reward is gracious fulfillment, not a separately purchased bonus.	Native speaker review
36	Human Tradition versus God’s Command	ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯ ಮತ್ತು ದೇವರ ಆಜ್ಞೆ	Medium	15:1-9	ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯ names living devotional/sectarian tradition (Haridasa/Lingayat) in Kannada religious life; must not be read as a blanket critique of tradition as such.	Native speaker review
37	Humanity of Christ	ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಮಾನವತ್ವ	High	1:1-17; 4:2; 8:24; 26:36-46	Full, real, historical human nature (hunger, weariness, anguish) without compromising divine Sonship; not illusory appearance or a mystic’s ascent-stage.	Human theologian
38	Sin and the Forgiveness of Sins	ಪಾಪ ಮತ್ತು ಪಾಪಕ್ಷಮೆ	High	1:21; 9:2-6; 26:28	Moral transgression before a personal God who judges and forgives, not an impersonal karmic ledger; grounded in Jesus’ own name and authority.	Human theologian
39	Faith of Gentiles and Outsiders	ಅನ್ಯಜನಾಂಗದವರ ನಂಬಿಕೆ	High	8:10; 15:28	Personal trust in Jesus specifically, not ethnic pedigree or ಭಕ್ತಿ-style devotional surrender to a chosen deity.	Human theologian
40	False Prophets and Discernment	ಸುಳ್ಳು ಪ್ರವಾದಿಗಳ ವಿವೇಚನೆ	Medium	7:15-20; 24:11,24	Standard discernment vocabulary reusing baseline ಪ್ರವಾದಿ; reinforces exclusivity of the true Messiah against counterfeit claimants.	Native speaker review
41	Thanksgiving and Praise	ಕೃತಜ್ಞತಾಸ್ತುತಿ	Low	11:25; 14:19; 15:36; 21:9; 26:26-27	Standard term reused from Romans baseline; minor over-ritualization risk only.	Automated review
42	The Prophetic Office	ಪ್ರವಾದಿಗಳ ಸ್ಥಾನ	Low	1:22; 2:5; 5:12; 23:29-37	ಪ್ರವಾದಿ reused exactly; distinguishes God’s spokesperson from ಜ್ಯೋತಿಷಿ (astrologer/fortune-teller).	Automated review
43	Christian Fellowship and Gathering	ಅನ್ಯೋನ್ಯತೆ	Low	18:20	Shared participation in Christ’s presence among gathered believers, reused exactly from Romans baseline.	Automated review

Critical Risk Doctrines

The Kingdom of Heaven

Kannada name: ಪರಲೋಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ
Key terms: kingdom of heaven, kingdom of God
Review routing: Human theologian

ಪರಲೋಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ must never be rendered ಸ್ವರ್ಗ ರಾಜ್ಯ; ಸ್ವರ್ಗ names Indra’s heaven / a merit-based, temporary paradise within the Hindu cosmological rebirth cycle, from which beings return once accumulated merit is exhausted. Matthew’s kingdom is God’s in-breaking, sovereign, non-cyclical reign, entered by grace through repentance and faith, not merit accumulation.

---

Jesus as the Promised Messiah and Son of David

Kannada name: ಮೆಸ್ಸೀಯನ ವಾಗ್ದಾನ ಮತ್ತು ದಾವೀದನ ಮಗ
Key terms: messiah, christ, son of David, seed of David
Review routing: Human theologian

The unique OT-promised deliverer and Davidic heir, not one of the Haridasa tradition’s Krishna-avatar associations, and not an exceptionally realized human teacher such as a Lingayat Sharana poet-saint. ದಾವೀದನ ಮಗ (living confessional title) must be kept distinct from ದಾವೀದನ ವಂಶದಿಂದ (bare lineage fact) so the act of messianic recognition remains visible.

---

Incarnation and Virgin Birth

Kannada name: ದೇಹಧಾರಣೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕನ್ಯಾ ಜನನ
Key terms: incarnation, virgin, Emmanuel, conceived
Review routing: Human theologian

CRITICAL: NEVER ಅವತಾರ, especially salient for readers formed by coastal Karnataka’s Haridasa Krishna-bhakti tradition. Lingayat-background readers, who reject avatar theology themselves, may instead receive Christ as an exceptionally realized human Sharana figure rather than the eternal, uncreated Son uniquely taking on flesh. ಕನ್ಯೆ must never be softened to ಯುವತಿ (‘young woman’), which would undercut the miraculous virgin-conception claim.

---

Deity of Christ

Kannada name: ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ದೇವತ್ವ
Key terms: Emmanuel, Son of God, forgive sins, worship
Review routing: Human theologian

Co-equal, undiminished divine nature — not a divinely-elevated human teacher (the closest available Lingayat category, a Sharana who reached Aikya) and not one devotional lord among several chosen personal deities. Jesus’ own pronouncement of forgiveness (9:2-6) is an implicit but strong claim to divine identity that must not be flattened to mere prophetic authority.

---

Sonship of Christ

Kannada name: ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಪುತ್ರತ್ವ
Key terms: Son of God, my beloved Son, Son of the living God
Review routing: Human theologian

Eternal, unique Sonship; must be kept lexically distinct from the plural, derived ‘sons of God’ language used of believers (5:9, 5:45), which conceptually parallels adoption (ದತ್ತು ಪುತ್ರತ್ವ) rather than Christ’s own singular ದೇವರ ಮಗ status.

---

Son of Man: Authority and Judgment

Kannada name: ಮನುಷ್ಯಕುಮಾರನ ಅಧಿಕಾರ ಮತ್ತು ನ್ಯಾಯತೀರ್ಪು
Key terms: Son of Man, authority, judgment
Review routing: Human theologian

ಮನುಷ್ಯಕುಮಾರ must not be flattened to mean merely ‘a human being’ (losing the Danielic exalted-judge sense from Dan 7:13-14) nor be read as implying a lesser, non-divine status compared to ‘Son of God’ — the titles are complementary, both bearing on Authority of Jesus’ Teaching and Judgment and the End of the Age.

---

Lordship of Christ

Kannada name: ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಕರ್ತೃತ್ವ
Key terms: Lord, lord, lord, all authority
Review routing: Human theologian

A living, presently-reigning, exclusive Lord who remains distinct from the believer in ongoing relationship — not a lord whose devotee’s ultimate destiny is to merge into and lose distinction from him, as in the Veerashaiva Aikya state. Matt 7:21-23 explicitly warns that confessing ‘Lord, Lord’ without obedience is insufficient, guarding against a merely verbal or ritual confession.

---

Righteousness Exceeding the Pharisees

Kannada name: ಫರಿಸಾಯರನ್ನು ಮೀರಿದ ನೀತಿವಂತಿಕೆ
Key terms: righteousness exceeds, hypocrite, pure in heart, scribes and Pharisees
Review routing: Human theologian

Must not be read as ‘more meritorious religious achievement,’ which would collapse into the very Pharisaic pattern being critiqued and into the self-attained ascent patterns baseline flags for the Lingayat shatsthala path. This is Spirit-produced heart-transformation exceeding external legal compliance. Track ಶುದ್ಧ (heart-purity contrast) as distinct from ಪವಿತ್ರ (general holiness).

---

Baptism

Kannada name: ದೀಕ್ಷಾಸ್ನಾನ
Key terms: baptize, baptism, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Review routing: Human theologian

ದೀಕ್ಷೆ (dīkṣā) is the specific Lingayat/Veerashaiva guru-administered initiation rite bestowing the personal iṣṭaliṅga, marking entry into that religious community’s shatsthala path. Using ದೀಕ್ಷಾಸ್ನಾನ for Christian baptism risks importing this guru-mediated, community-specific initiation framework onto a once-for-all identification with Christ’s death and resurrection administered in the Triune Name.

---

Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit

Kannada name: ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮನಿಗೆ ವಿರುದ್ಧವಾದ ದೂಷಣೆ
Key terms: blasphemy against the Spirit, unforgivable sin
Review routing: Human theologian

Ties directly to ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮ (Critical risk per baseline: never ಪರಮಾತ್ಮ). Attributing the Spirit’s clearly divine work to Satan is uniquely unforgivable; must be handled with theological precision given this unparalleled severity.

---

Resurrection of Christ

Kannada name: ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಪುನರುತ್ಥಾನ
Key terms: raised, resurrection, sign of Jonah, he has risen
Review routing: Human theologian

CRITICAL: NEVER ಪುನರ್ಜನ್ಮ. Bodily, historical, once-for-all — the sign of Jonah (12:39-40) foretells it as a fixed pattern, not a spontaneous later claim; the Sadducee debate (22:23-32) affirms it as a real future event, not a metaphor.

---

Atonement and Ransom

Kannada name: ವಿಮೋಚನಾ ಕ್ರಯ
Key terms: ransom for many, my blood of the covenant, why have you forsaken me
Review routing: Human theologian

Must preserve the vicarious, substitutionary ‘in place of many’ (ಅಂತಿ ಪೊಲ್ಲೋನ್) sense of ವಿಮೋಚನಾ ಕ್ರಯ and must not drift toward a bare-liberation reading assimilable to ಮುಕ್ತಿ/ಮೋಕ್ಷ, already forbidden absolutely for ‘salvation.’ The cry of dereliction (27:46) must not be softened or explained away.

---

The Great Commission

Kannada name: ಮಹಾ ಆಜ್ಞಾಪನೆ
Key terms: all authority, make disciples, baptizing, teaching to observe
Review routing: Human theologian

ಶಿಷ್ಯರನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿರಿ inherits the guru-shishya disambiguation caution from ಶಿಷ್ಯ — this is bringing people into exclusive allegiance to Christ through baptism and taught obedience under his ಸಮಸ್ತ ಅಧಿಕಾರ (total, universal authority), not enrolling them in a lineage-based teacher-student relationship of the regional devotional pattern. The Trinitarian formula (ತಂದೆ, ಪುತ್ರ, ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮ) must be rendered exactly per baseline.

---

Judgment and the End of the Age

Kannada name: ನ್ಯಾಯತೀರ್ಪು ಮತ್ತು ಯುಗದ ಅಂತ್ಯ
Key terms: end of the age, parousia, Son of Man coming, watch
Review routing: Human theologian

AVOID building the primary rendering on ಯುಗ (yuga), the loaded Hindu cosmological term for one of a cyclically repeating sequence of cosmic ages that end only to begin again. Matthew’s ‘end of the age’ is a linear, one-time, final consummation, structured around the Olivet Discourse (ch. 24) and judgment parables (ch. 25). ಪುನರಾಗಮನ (parousia) carries an additional ‘punar-’ root collision risk with the forbidden ಪುನರ್ಜನ್ಮ.

---

Eternal Punishment and Hell

Kannada name: ನಿತ್ಯ ಶಿಕ್ಷೆ ಮತ್ತು ನರಕ
Key terms: Gehenna, hell, eternal punishment, outer darkness
Review routing: Human theologian

ನರಕ is the near-universal established Indian-language rendering, but mainstream Hindu cosmology typically treats naraka as a temporary punitive realm from which a soul is eventually released back into the rebirth cycle after karmic debt is discharged. Matthew’s γέεννα, paired with ‘eternal punishment’ (25:46), denotes a final, irrevocable destiny, not a purgatorial way-station.

---

The Renewal of All Things

Kannada name: ಲೋಕದ ನವೀಕರಣ
Key terms: regeneration, renewal of all things, new creation
Review routing: Human theologian

The Greek root παλιγγενεσία (πάλιν ‘again’ + γένεσις ‘birth/becoming’) makes this a prime candidate for accidental rendering with a reincarnation-adjacent Kannada compound. Never render with any compound built on ಜನ್ಮ (janma, ‘birth’); this is a single cosmic renewal at Christ’s return, not a repeating cycle.

---

The Parousia (Second Coming)

Kannada name: ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಪುನರಾಗಮನ
Key terms: coming, parousia, Son of Man coming on the clouds
Review routing: Human theologian

ಪುನರಾಗಮನ shares the ‘punar-’ (again) prefix with the absolutely forbidden ಪುನರ್ಜನ್ಮ (rebirth) and with baseline’s ಪುನರುತ್ಥಾನ (resurrection); reviewers must ensure this term is never confused with, or drift toward, a reincarnation concept. Christ’s parousia is a single, visible, bodily, historical return in glory.

---

High Risk Doctrines

Fulfillment of Old Testament Prophecy

Kannada name: ಪ್ರವಾದನೆಯ ನೆರವೇರಿಕೆ
Key terms: fulfill, it was written, prophet, prophecy
Review routing: Human theologian

Linear, one-time historical fulfillment, using ನೆರವೇರಿಸು consistently; not the cyclical cosmic time of Hindu yuga cosmology, nor the stage-by-stage individual ascent of the Lingayat shatsthala path. Matthew’s ~16 fulfillment-formula citations (chs. 1-2, 4, 8, 12-13, 21, 27) are the single most structurally important evidence base for this doctrine.

---

The Authority of Jesus’ Teaching

Kannada name: ಯೇಸುವಿನ ಬೋಧನೆಯ ಅಧಿಕಾರ
Key terms: authority, you have heard it said, but I say, all authority
Review routing: Human theologian

ಅಧಿಕಾರ must convey inherent, self-possessed authority (‘not as their scribes,’ 7:29) distinct from a guru’s authority derived from lineage, ascetic attainment, or scholarly citation. The antitheses’ formula (‘You have heard… but I say to you’) claims an authority equal to or exceeding the Torah’s own giver and must not be softened into one rabbi’s opinion among others.

---

Fulfillment of the Law

Kannada name: ನಿಯಮಶಾಸ್ತ್ರದ ನೆರವೇರಿಕೆ
Key terms: law, fulfill the law, not abolish
Review routing: Human theologian

NEVER ಧರ್ಮ, which carries generic Hindu caste-duty connotations and, in Karnataka specifically, the memory of the Lingayat reform movement’s explicit rejection of Brahmanical dharma. ನಿಯಮಶಾಸ್ತ್ರ preserves the specific Mosaic-covenantal referent Jesus claims authority to fulfill, not abolish.

---

Repentance

Kannada name: ಪಶ್ಚಾತ್ತಾಪ
Key terms: repent, repentance, bear fruit in keeping with repentance
Review routing: Human theologian

The first public word of both John and Jesus (3:2; 4:17). Must be distinguished from ಪ್ರಾಯಶ್ಚಿತ್ತ, the Hindu concept of self-performed ritual expiatory acts that remove sin/ritual pollution or offset karmic demerit; biblical repentance is an inward, Spirit-enabled reorientation, not a remedial act that itself atones.

---

Beatitudes and Kingdom Character

Kannada name: ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳ ರಾಜ್ಯಸ್ವಭಾವ
Key terms: blessed, poor in spirit, meek, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers
Review routing: Human theologian

The curriculum’s core passage. ಧನ್ಯ must read as God’s declared favor, not a merit-badge (ಪುಣ್ಯ) or mere subjective happiness (ಸಂತೋಷ). ‘Poor in spirit’ (ಆತ್ಮದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಡವರು) carries a distinct high-risk term-level collision: ಆತ್ಮ here must be read strictly as human inner disposition, never the Vedantic ātman or the Lingayat/Advaita soul destined for Aikya-merger, and never conflated with ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮ (Holy Spirit).

---

Discipleship and the Cost of Following Jesus

Kannada name: ಶಿಷ್ಯತ್ವ ಮತ್ತು ಅನುಸರಣೆಯ ಬೆಲೆ
Key terms: disciple, follow, take up his cross, deny himself
Review routing: Human theologian

ಶಿಷ್ಯ is also the exact term for a student in the guru-shishya paramparā of Hindu, Haridasa-bhakti, and Lingayat tradition, where a disciple may study under several gurus and progress toward personal spiritual attainment. Christian discipleship is a single, exclusive, costly, lifelong allegiance to one Lord, not one stage in a multi-teacher spiritual journey; ಶಿಲುಬೆ (cross) must retain its literal, shameful, voluntarily-taken-up sense, not soften into generic hardship (ಕಷ್ಟ).

---

Providence and Freedom from Anxiety

Kannada name: ದೇವರ ಪರಿಪಾಲನೆ
Key terms: do not be anxious, your heavenly Father knows, daily bread
Review routing: Human theologian

God’s personal, purposive care for his children is vulnerable to being absorbed into ಹಣೆಬರಹ (fatalism, literally ‘forehead-writing’) or the impersonal law of karma, both common everyday Kannada explanatory frameworks for why things happen; must be taught as a personal Father’s care, not an unchangeable pre-written fate.

---

The Lord’s Prayer and Adoption

Kannada name: ಕರ್ತನ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನೆ ಮತ್ತು ದತ್ತು ಪುತ್ರತ್ವ
Key terms: Our Father, your kingdom come, daily bread, forgive us our debts
Review routing: Human theologian

ತಂದೆ conveys the intimate yet reverent personal Father, distinct from an impersonal creator-principle (ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಕರ್ತ) and grounding the adoption doctrine already Critical/High in the Romans baseline; the daily-bread petition must avoid fatalistic framing.

---

Forgiveness and Grace within the Community

Kannada name: ಕ್ಷಮೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕೃಪೆ
Key terms: forgive, debts, seventy times seven, unforgiving servant
Review routing: Human theologian

The Unforgiving Servant parable ties forgiveness received from God to forgiveness required among believers; must preserve a grace-flows-to-grace logic, not a karma-style merit exchange or reciprocal payment, consistent with the baseline’s grace-vs-merit caution.

---

The Church and Church Discipline

Kannada name: ಸಭೆ ಮತ್ತು ಸಭಾ ಶಿಸ್ತು
Key terms: church, tell it to the church, bind and loose
Review routing: Human theologian

Matt 16:18 (‘I will build my church’) and 18:15-20 (the discipline procedure) are foundational, normative texts. ಸಭೆ must never be rendered ದೇವಸ್ಥಾನ/ಮಂದಿರ, and must be kept visually distinct from ಮಹಾಸಭೆ (the Jewish Sanhedrin, 26:59) despite the shared root. Bind-and-loose language requires a mandatory note distinguishing derived, corporate, restoration-oriented church authority from folk-religious mantra-based binding/curse-release practices.

---

Keys of the Kingdom and Delegated Authority

Kannada name: ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಬೀಗದ ಕೈಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿತ್ವ ಅಧಿಕಾರ
Key terms: keys of the kingdom, bind on earth, loose on earth
Review routing: Human theologian

Must be understood as derived, stewardship authority under Christ’s own supreme, underived authority (7:29; 28:18), never as an independent priestly power comparable to a guru’s self-attained spiritual authority.

---

Transfiguration and the Glory of Christ

Kannada name: ರೂಪಾಂತರ ಮತ್ತು ಮಹಿಮೆ
Key terms: transfigured, glory, beloved Son
Review routing: Human theologian

A momentary revelatory unveiling of Christ’s already-existing divine glory, not a new descent or a repeatable divine ‘form-change’ narrative of the kind familiar from regional devotional literature (cf. baseline’s ಅವತಾರ caution).

---

The New Covenant

Kannada name: ಹೊಸ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆ
Key terms: covenant, this is my blood of the covenant
Review routing: Human theologian

Reuse ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆ exactly; instituted in Christ’s own blood at the Last Supper, directly connected to the ransom saying (20:28) and to Jeremiah 31’s new-covenant promise, requiring OT covenant background for a low-OT-literacy audience.

---

Universal Scope and Gentile Inclusion

Kannada name: ಸಾರ್ವತ್ರಿಕ ವ್ಯಾಪ್ತಿ ಮತ್ತು ಅನ್ಯಜನಾಂಗದವರ ಸೇರ್ಪಡೆ
Key terms: Magi, centurion’s faith, Canaanite woman, all nations
Review routing: Human theologian

The gospel’s reach to Gentiles (Magi, a Roman centurion, a Canaanite woman) has real resonance with the Lingayat reform movement’s own historic rejection of caste hierarchy in religious life, even though caste distinctions persist socially in Karnataka; retain the unqualified universality of the invitation without softening it into a merely social-reform parallel.

---

Eternal Life

Kannada name: ನಿತ್ಯ ಜೀವ
Key terms: eternal life, enter life
Review routing: Human theologian

The same Greek adjective αἰώνιος describes both eternal life and eternal punishment in the identical verse (25:46); both must be rendered with the same underlying permanence-word (ನಿತ್ಯ) so the parallel remains visible, not treated as ‘a long time’ for one and ‘forever’ for the other.

---

Worship of Christ

Kannada name: ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಆರಾಧನೆ
Key terms: worship, they worshiped him
Review routing: Human theologian

ಆರಾಧಿಸು must be reserved for worship due exclusively to God/Christ; must not be rendered ಪೂಜಿಸು, which would place Christ as one worship-object among several in a polytheistic frame, especially salient given Karnataka’s active devotional puja practice across multiple traditions.

---

Humanity of Christ

Kannada name: ಕ್ರಿಸ್ತನ ಮಾನವತ್ವ
Key terms: genealogy, hungered, wept, agony, Gethsemane
Review routing: Human theologian

Christ’s full, real, historical human nature, including genuine hunger, weariness, and anguish, without compromising his divine Sonship; must not be read as illusory appearance nor merely a stage in a mystic’s ascent narrative.

---

Sin and the Forgiveness of Sins

Kannada name: ಪಾಪ ಮತ್ತು ಪಾಪಕ್ಷಮೆ
Key terms: save his people from their sins, your sins are forgiven, forgiveness of sins
Review routing: Human theologian

Moral transgression before a personal God who judges and forgives, not an impersonal ledger of karmic demerit; Jesus’ name itself (1:21) and his direct pronouncement of forgiveness (9:2-6) ground this doctrine in his own person and authority.

---

Faith of Gentiles and Outsiders

Kannada name: ಅನ್ಯಜನಾಂಗದವರ ನಂಬಿಕೆ
Key terms: such great faith, great is your faith
Review routing: Human theologian

Personal trust in Jesus specifically, not ethnic/covenant pedigree or the devotional surrender (ಭಕ್ತಿ) directed toward a chosen deity in Haridasa-bhakti or Lingayat devotion; faith, not birth or spiritual attainment, is the operative category.

---

Medium Risk Doctrines

Spiritual Warfare and Temptation

Kannada name: ಶೋಧನೆ ಮತ್ತು ಆತ್ಮಿಕ ಯುದ್ಧ
Key terms: tempt, temptation, the devil, the evil one
Review routing: Native speaker review

ದೆವ್ವ (devva) is the generic Kannada folk-religious word for a malevolent ghost/spirit and risks reducing Satan to one of many local spirit-beings; prefer the transliterated ಸೈತಾನ to preserve his unique, singular identity as the real, personal chief adversary, not an impersonal evil force or karmic principle.

---

Mercy and ‘the Least of These’

Kannada name: ಕರುಣೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕಿರಿಯ ಸಹೋದರರು
Key terms: merciful, the least of these brothers
Review routing: Native speaker review

Active compassion reciprocating mercy already received must not be read as a merit-earning act that itself secures divine mercy in a karma-style bargain; keep the fruit-of-grace framing visible.

---

Stewardship and Reward

Kannada name: ಪ್ರತಿಫಲ ಮತ್ತು ನಂಬಿಗಸ್ತಿಕೆ
Key terms: reward, talents, vineyard workers
Review routing: Native speaker review

ಪ್ರತಿಫಲ requires a standing note guarding against a wage/merit misreading; the reward in view is the gracious fulfillment of what has already been declared, not a separately earned bonus purchasing Kingdom entry.

---

Human Tradition versus God’s Command

Kannada name: ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯ ಮತ್ತು ದೇವರ ಆಜ್ಞೆ
Key terms: tradition of the elders, commandment of God
Review routing: Native speaker review

ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯ is an active word in Kannada religious life denoting living devotional/sectarian tradition (e.g., Haridasa or Lingayat ಸಂಪ್ರದಾಯ); ensure the specific contrast Jesus draws (divine command vs. human tradition) is not misread as a blanket critique of tradition as such.

---

False Prophets and Discernment

Kannada name: ಸುಳ್ಳು ಪ್ರವಾದಿಗಳ ವಿವೇಚನೆ
Key terms: false prophets, by their fruits, false christs
Review routing: Native speaker review

Standard discernment vocabulary (ಸುಳ್ಳು ಪ್ರವಾದಿ reuses baseline ಪ್ರವಾದಿ); reinforces the exclusivity of the true Messiah against counterfeit claimants.

---

Low Risk Doctrines

Thanksgiving and Praise

Kannada name: ಕೃತಜ್ಞತಾಸ್ತುತಿ
Key terms: gave thanks, hosanna
Review routing: Automated review

Standard term reused from the Romans baseline; minor risk of over-ritualization only.

---

The Prophetic Office

Kannada name: ಪ್ರವಾದಿಗಳ ಸ್ಥಾನ
Key terms: prophet, prophets before you
Review routing: Automated review

ಪ್ರವಾದಿ, reused exactly from baseline; distinguishes God’s spokesperson from a fortune-teller/astrologer (ಜ್ಯೋತಿಷಿ). Low ambiguity risk given the established rendering.

---

Christian Fellowship and Gathering

Kannada name: ಅನ್ಯೋನ್ಯತೆ
Key terms: gathered in my name, two or three
Review routing: Automated review

Shared participation in Christ’s presence among gathered believers, reused exactly from the Romans baseline; not merely social or caste-community association.
