Doctrine Analysis
This Language Package’s doctrine_risk_registry.json tracks 40 doctrines across Romans 1-16, each assigned a risk tier that drives Phase 2 review routing.
Risk tier summary
| Tier | Count | Review routing | Example doctrines |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | 8 | Human theologian, every occurrence | Salvation, Incarnation, Grace, Deity of Christ, Sonship of Christ, Resurrection of Christ, Lordship of Christ, Messianic Promise |
| High | 20 | Human theologian | Gospel, Divine Calling, Faith, Sanctification, Providence, Universal Scope of the Gospel, Unity of Jews and Gentiles |
| Medium | 9 | Native speaker review | Apostleship, Prayer and Intercession, Spiritual Gifts, Mission to the Nations, Evangelism, Church as God’s People, Kingdom Mission |
| Low | 3 | Automated review only | Thanksgiving, Mutual Edification, Christian Fellowship |
Why Critical doctrines cluster where they do
Manipuri’s eight Critical-risk doctrines cluster around Manipuri Vaishnavism’s well-developed avatar and bhakti theology specifically. Incarnation, Sonship, and Deity of Christ are Critical because Krishna’s avatar-descents, re-enacted through the actively performed Ras Lila dance tradition, make অবতার an unusually prestigious and tempting wrong word. Grace and Salvation are Critical because they must be defended against Vaishnavism’s well-developed কৃপা (bhakti-responsive favor) and মোক্ষ-adjacent liberation concepts, which are live devotional aspirations, not distant abstractions. This is not a coincidence: these are precisely the doctrines where the “obvious” translation risks importing the exact framework Romans is written against.
Review routing rationale
Critical and High risk doctrines (28 of 40) require mandatory human theologian review because an automated or native-speaker-only check could confirm the Manipuri is fluent without catching that it imports avatar theology or bhakti-responsive favor logic — or, in the Sanamahi direction, that a term reads naturally because it borrows from the populated Umang Lai spirit-world or maibi trance-possession framework. Native speaker review is sufficient for Medium-risk doctrines, where the concern is cultural and inter-community sensitivity (e.g. mission framing, kingdom language given Manipur’s contemporary tensions) rather than doctrinal contradiction.
