Passage

Romans 3

• Doctrine

  Faith

  Shares the region's six-pillars creedal-assent structure; must be anchored as personal trust in Christ specifically.

  ROM.3.22-28

• Glossary Term

  Faith

  Shares the region's Sunni (predominantly Shafi'i madhhab among Kurds, distinct from the Hanafi madhhab common elsewhere in this batch) six-pillars creedal structure.

  ROM.3.22-28

• Doctrine

  Fulfillment of Prophecy

  Naskh (abrogation) doctrine treats later revelation as superseding earlier revelation; Romans' fulfillment argument needs deliberate framing against this default.

  ROM.3.21

• Glossary Term

  Gentiles

  Umet carries the loaded pan-Islamic community sense; the descriptive 'ne-cihû' ('non-Jews') avoids that association.

  ROM.3.29-30

• Doctrine

  Grace

  The Sufi 'keramet' concept reserves extraordinary graces for elevated saints; grace here must be taught as freely given to all believers, not a mark of spiritual rank.

  ROM.3.24

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  Kurdistan's rich Sufi heritage (the Naqshbandi revival led by the Kurdish Sheikh Mawlana Khalid) uses the cognate 'keramet' for miracles granted specifically to elevated Sufi saints as marks of spiritual rank.

  ROM.3.24

• Glossary Term

  Israel

  Unusually for this batch, popular Kurdish sentiment - especially in Iraqi Kurdistan - toward Israel is often notably more favorable than the regional norm, reflecting shared minority-status solidarity and historical Israeli support for Kurdish autonomy; still requires care given real variation across the four host states Kurdish spans.

  ROM.3.29-30

• Glossary Term

  Law

  CRITICAL: bare 'Şerîet' risks conflation with Islamic law generally, hence the explicit 'of Moses' qualifier.

  ROM.3.21

• Glossary Term

  Prophecy

  Low independent risk beyond the prophet entry's own note.

  ROM.3.21

• Glossary Term

  Sin

  Shares the region's Islamic fitrah (innate purity) doctrine; Romans 5's federal-headship argument must be taught deliberately against this default.

  ROM.3.23

• Doctrine

  Unity of Jews and Gentiles

  Kurdish popular sentiment toward Israel, notably in Iraqi Kurdistan, is often more favorable than the regional norm, giving this doctrine a less acutely charged political backdrop than in Arabic or Persian, though variation across the four host states still requires care.

  ROM.3.29-30

• Doctrine

  Universal Human Accountability

  Islamic fitrah doctrine holds each person is born in a state of natural purity; Romans 5's federal-headship argument runs against this default and must be taught deliberately.
