Passage
Romans 9
-
Glossary Term
Abba
Aramaic term of intimacy preserved in Romans 8:15; kept as transliteration alongside पिता.
ROM.9.4
-
Glossary Term

Emphasizes full son-status and inheritance.
ROM.9.4
-
Doctrine

Full son-status with complete inheritance rights.
ROM.9.4
-
Glossary Term
Called
Context-sensitive: in 1:1 = called to apostleship; in 1:7 = called to be saints; in 8:28-30 = effectual calling to salvation.
ROM.9.11-12
-
Glossary Term
Calling
Noun form for the act/state of being called; pair with बोलावलेले for the participle.
ROM.9.11-12
-
Glossary Term
Covenant
करार conveys a binding relational bond; वचन alone (a promise/word) is weaker than the covenant concept requires.
ROM.9.5
-
Glossary Term
David
Established proper name form.
ROM.9.5
-
Doctrine
Davidic Covenant
Requires OT background explanation; no structural equivalent exists in either Warkari devotional theology or Buddhist teaching.
ROM.9.5
-
Doctrine
Deity of Christ
CRITICAL: co-equal, undiminished divine nature — not a beloved, humbly-postured personal deity like Vitthal within a devotee's chosen pantheon, and not an enlightened human teacher elevated in memory, the closest available Buddhist category.
ROM.9.5
-
Doctrine
Divine Calling
God's initiating, sovereign call must be distinguished from the devotee-initiated seeking of Warkari bhakti (undertaking the wari pilgrimage to Pandharpur by one's own devotion) and from the deliberate, self-chosen 'taking of refuge' (conversion vow) central to the Navayana Buddhist path.
ROM.9.11-12
-
Doctrine
Effectual Calling
God's sovereign call that ensures the salvation of the one called; must not be phrased so as to echo the karma-birth explanation of social standing that Ambedkarite Buddhist communities specifically and painfully rejected.
ROM.9.11-12
-
Glossary Term
Election
God's sovereign, personal choice.
ROM.9.11-12
-
Glossary Term
Father
God as personal Father; avoid abstract creator-titles that lack relational warmth.
ROM.9.4
-
Glossary Term
Glory
God's radiant honor; avoid light-only imagery that could merge with devotional divine-light or enlightenment (bodhi) associations.
ROM.9.5
-
Glossary Term
God
CRITICAL: देव is the everyday Marathi word for any deity at all (Ganpati, Vitthal, a village deity), so it flattens monotheistic exclusivity if used alone for the God of Romans.
ROM.9.5
-
Glossary Term
Messiah
CRITICAL: transliterated term; the unique OT-promised deliverer, not one of many avatar-descents.
ROM.9.5
-
Doctrine
Messianic Promise
CRITICAL: the Messiah is the unique OT-promised deliverer, not one of Vitthal's Vaishnav avatar-associations, and not a Buddha-like enlightened teacher who attained realization through his own effort.
ROM.9.5
-
Glossary Term
Seed Of David
Romans 1:3; conveys physical lineage and OT covenant fulfillment.
