Passage

Romans 5

• Doctrine

  Faith

  Personal trust placed in Christ specifically; not the devotional surrender (ಭಕ್ತಿ) a Haridasa devotee directs toward Krishna or a Lingayat devotee toward Shiva through the personal ishtalinga.

  ROM.5.1-2

• Glossary Term

  Faith

  Personal trust in Christ specifically; ಭಕ್ತಿ carries the devotional-surrender sense central to both Haridasa Krishna-bhakti and Lingayat devotion to Shiva, neither of which requires the specific, exclusive object of trust that ನಂಬಿಕೆ requires here.

  ROM.5.1-2

• Doctrine

  Grace

  Unmerited favor stands against both the karma-merit economy of popular Hindu devotion and the Lingayat kayaka-dasoha ethic, where right standing is demonstrated through disciplined sacred work and generous sharing; grace must be taught as favor received, not effort or service rewarded.

  ROM.5.2, ROM.5.15-17, ROM.5.20-21

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  Unmerited favor apart from human merit.

  ROM.5.2, ROM.5.15-17, ROM.5.20-21

• Doctrine

  Humanity of Christ

  Christ's full, real, historical human nature; not an illusory appearance and not merely a stage in a mystic's ascent narrative.

  ROM.5.15

• Glossary Term

  Peace

  Relational peace with God through justification, not the inner tranquility (ಮನಶ್ಶಾಂತಿ) sought through bhakti devotion or Lingayat meditative discipline.

  ROM.5.1

• Doctrine

  Peace with God

  Relational peace secured through justification; not the inner tranquility sought through bhakti devotion or Lingayat meditative discipline.
