Incarnation

CRITICAL: a provisional descriptive compound (‘came in a human body’) stands in for a single fixed theological term, which does not exist in currently available Santali Christian literature. This must be sharply distinguished from bonga possession, in which a spirit is understood to temporarily seize or work through a human medium during ritual — a real, currently practiced framework in Sarnaism and in Ojha-led healing. The incarnation is the eternal Son’s permanent, personal, and unique assumption of human nature, not a temporary possession. Confirm this rendering with a Santali-speaking theologian; treat as provisional.
