Doctrine Analysis

Doctrine Analysis: Genesis (English → Spanish)

Purpose

This document is the full doctrine matrix for the Genesis curriculum, required by PRD Phase 1 Steps 4–5. It is generated in lockstep with assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json (v1): every doctrine name, risk tier, and review routing below is identical to the registry. This file adds narrative structure — organizing the same 35 doctrines by their supporting passages and, additionally, providing full chapter-by-chapter coverage of Genesis 1–50 so that no chapter is silently skipped, per the PRD’s full-book-coverage mandate. The core passage (Genesis 1:1–2:3) is the theological anchor of the curriculum but is not the analytical boundary; every chapter through Genesis 50 is accounted for below.

Risk tiers and review routing follow the Romans baseline framework exactly:

Critical → Human theologian review, every occurrence
High → Human theologian review
Medium → Native speaker review
Low → Automated review (none assigned at Low tier in this registry)

Section A — Doctrine Matrix

#	Doctrine	Risk	Genesis Supporting Passages	Translation Risk Summary	Review Routing
1	Creation Ex Nihilo	Critical	1:1, 1:3, 1:21, 1:27, 2:3	«Bara» must stay lexically distinct from «formó» (yatsar) and «hizo» (asah); collapsing all three into one generic verb reduces creation from-nothing to mere divine reorganization of pre-existing matter.	Human theologian
2	Divine Ordering of Creation	Medium	1:2, 1:6-10, 1:11-12	«Desordenada y vacía» must not imply an eternal, independent chaos-force or rival deity; God orders his own material, not a co-eternal opposing power.	Native speaker review
3	The Image of God	Critical	1:26-27, 5:1, 9:6	Highest syncretism-risk term in the curriculum: «imagen» collides with Hispanic Catholic devotional culture’s dominant use for venerated statues/holy cards. Mandatory teaching note every occurrence.	Human theologian
4	Male and Female in God’s Image	High	1:27, 5:2	Live contemporary flashpoint in Spanish-speaking gender-identity discourse; the created binary must not be softened or reinterpreted through word choice.	Human theologian
5	Dominion and Stewardship	Medium	1:26, 1:28, 2:15	«Dominio/sojuzgar» must be taught as accountable stewardship, not exploitation license, given live Latin American ecological and land-use debates.	Native speaker review
6	Sabbath Rest and the Sanctification of Time	High	2:1-3	First occurrence of the q-d-sh root behind the baseline «santificación»/«santos» family; God’s rest is satisfied completion, not fatigue-recovery, and must not collapse into Mosaic legal observance or penitential merit framing.	Human theologian
7	The Goodness of Creation	Medium	1:4, 1:10, 1:12, 1:18, 1:21, 1:25, 1:31	«Bueno/muy bueno» must retain full moral-aesthetic weight, not a merely functional «útil»; essential counterweight preserving that evil enters a genuinely good creation.	Native speaker review
8	Marriage as Covenant Union	Medium	2:18, 2:20, 2:24	«Ayuda idónea» must not imply servile inferiority (ezer elsewhere describes God as Israel’s strong helper); live contemporary flashpoint in gender-role debates.	Native speaker review
9	The Fall and the Origin of Sin	Critical	3:1-24	Sin enters a genuinely good creation through real human disobedience, not divine entrapment or pre-existing material flaw; «árbol del conocimiento» must not suggest neutral information or magical wisdom.	Human theologian
10	The Serpent and the Nature of Temptation	Medium	3:1, 3:4-5, 3:13	«Serpiente» must retain plain historical-theological sense as the tempter’s instrument, avoiding folk-magical serpent-charm framings present in some Latin American popular religion.	Native speaker review
11	Sin’s Consequences (Curse Pronouncements)	High	3:14, 3:16-19	«Maldición» carries major syncretism risk (folk witchcraft, «mal de ojo», curanderismo-removable hexes); must be taught as a formal divine judicial pronouncement, not an impersonal magical curse.	Human theologian
12	Curse of Canaan — Historical Misuse Caution	Critical	9:20-27	Documented historical misuse to justify racialized chattel slavery of Black and Indigenous peoples in the Americas; mandatory anti-racialization teaching note every occurrence.	Human theologian
13	Protoevangelium — The Messianic Seed Promise	Critical	3:15, 12:7, 15:5, 22:18, 49:10	«Descendencia» requires one single consistent Spanish rendering across every occurrence so the promise-line traces forward intact into the baseline’s Critical «Mesías» entry.	Human theologian
14	Substitutionary Covering (Garments of Skin)	High	3:21	First shadow of substitutionary atonement (God provides a covering requiring an animal’s death); must not be reduced to a bare wardrobe detail without a forward-trajectory teaching note.	Human theologian
15	Sin as an Active, Personified Power	High	4:7	Scripture’s first personification of sin as a crouching predator; «pecado» must retain this vivid imagery and never soften to «falta» per the baseline’s standing rule.	Human theologian
16	The Universal Spread of Sin	High	6:5, 6:11-12, 8:21	Establishes sin’s universal corrupting scope prior to the Flood — direct OT background for the baseline’s universal-human-accountability doctrine; must retain unqualified universal language.	Human theologian
17	Divine Grief and Unchanging Providence	High	6:6-7	Delicate anthropopathism; «se dolió/le pesó en su corazón» requires a note distinguishing genuine relational grief-language from any implication God lacks foreknowledge or sovereign control.	Human theologian
18	The Noahic Covenant	High	6:18, 9:9-17	Reuses the baseline’s High-risk «pacto» exactly; establishes the pattern of gracious covenant-making later formalized with Abraham — must not reduce to a bare legal contract.	Human theologian
19	Common Grace	Medium	6:8, 8:21-22, 9:1-17	God’s ongoing, undeserved sustaining care for all humanity/creation, distinct from yet continuous with saving grace; must not flatten into generic «buena suerte» providential luck.	Native speaker review
20	Sons of God / Nephilim — Interpretive Caution	High	6:1-4	Contested identity among orthodox commentators (angelic vs. human dynastic reading); translation/teaching notes must not silently resolve the debate through word choice.	Human theologian
21	The Abrahamic Covenant and Promise	Critical	12:1-3, 15:1-21, 17:1-14, 22:15-18	The book’s controlling covenant promise, quoted directly by Paul (Gal 3:8, 16; Rom 4); «bendición» carries real prosperity-gospel flattening risk, «pacto» must retain relational-covenantal force.	Human theologian
22	Justification by Faith — OT Anchor (Genesis 15:6)	Critical	15:6	Direct OT textual anchor of the baseline’s Trent-vs-Reformation fault line; must reuse «justicia imputada» exactly, never «justicia infundida»; must match Romans 4:3’s rendering verbatim.	Human theologian
23	Covenant Sign and Seal (Circumcision)	High	17:1-14	Circumcision is a sign following, not the basis producing, the already-imputed righteousness of Genesis 15 — parallels the baseline’s warning against a merit-based misreading of grace, per Romans 4:9-12.	Human theologian
24	Melchizedek Typology	High	14:18-20	Typologically significant priest-king (cf. Ps 110:4; Heb 5-7) whose name embeds the «justicia» root; must not be reduced to a minor genealogical footnote.	Human theologian
25	The Testing of Faith (Genesis 22)	High	22:1-14	«Probó» must be distinguished from «tentó» (which implies God inciting Abraham toward sin, contradicting James 1:13).	Human theologian
26	Providence and the Sovereignty of God	Critical	22:14, 45:5-8, 50:20	Must avoid the fatalistic vernacular «destino/suerte» framing common in everyday Hispanic speech while affirming God’s genuine, personal, purposive sovereignty over human evil and suffering without excusing human moral responsibility.	Human theologian
27	Covenant Faithfulness across Generations	High	24:1-67, 25:29-34, 28:10-22, 32:22-32	«Chesed» has no single adequate Spanish equivalent and risks collapsing into generic «amor» or conflating with «gracia» (chen); standing teaching note required distinguishing covenant loyalty from unmerited favor.	Human theologian
28	Idolatry and Household Gods	High	31:19, 31:34-35, 35:2-4	Real contemporary syncretism relevance given object-veneration practices still present in parts of the Hispanic world; «teraphim» must render unambiguously as false gods/idols, never neutral heirlooms.	Human theologian
29	Birthright and Covenant Transmission	Medium	25:29-34, 27:1-40	«Primogenitura» is lexically clear, but the covenant-transmission weight (cf. Heb 12:16-17) should be taught explicitly, not assumed as mere legal inheritance.	Native speaker review
30	Joseph and God’s Providence in Suffering	Critical	37:1-36, 39:1-23, 45:1-15, 50:15-21	The doctrinal capstone (50:20) must preserve both the reality/guilt of the brothers’ evil intent and God’s overruling sovereign good purpose in the same breath — easily lost given common fatalistic «destino» idioms.	Human theologian
31	Revelatory Dreams as a Vehicle of Providence	Medium	37:5-11, 40:1-23, 41:1-36	Must be taught as genuine God-given revelation, not assimilated to esoteric/superstitious dream-interpretation practice current in parts of Hispanic folk culture, paralleling the baseline’s «horóscopo» caution for «profecía».	Native speaker review
32	Davidic-Messianic Trajectory (Scepter of Judah)	High	49:8-12	«Siloh» is interpretively disputed; translation/teaching notes must not silently foreclose the debate while preserving the passage’s clear messianic trajectory to the baseline’s «Mesías» entry.	Human theologian
33	Mission to the Nations — Seedbed in Genesis	Medium	10:1-32, 12:1-3, 22:18	«Misión» retains the baseline’s mild colonial-mission-system association; this is Paul’s own citation text (Gal 3:8) for the gospel’s reach to the nations.	Native speaker review
34	Unity of Peoples — Seedbed for Jews and Gentiles	Medium	10:1-32, 12:3	No direct caste analogue in Hispanic culture, but regional/racial hierarchies around Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities make the “all families of the earth” claim socially, not merely doctrinally, significant.	Native speaker review
35	Prayer and Intercession — OT Precursor	Critical	18:22-33, 20:7, 20:17	Critical by direct association with the baseline’s «intercesión» entry; Abraham’s direct pleading models unmediated approach to God and must not reinforce a saint/Marian-mediated model of intercession.	Human theologian

Critical Risk Doctrines

Creation Ex Nihilo

Spanish name: la creación ex nihilo
Key terms: create, bara, beginning, God said
Review routing: Human theologian

«Bara» must remain lexically distinct from «formó» (yatsar) and «hizo» (asah) in Spanish; if all three collapse into a single generic «hizo», the doctrine that God created the cosmos without pre-existing material collapses into mere divine reorganization of eternal matter.

The Image of God

Spanish name: la imagen de Dios
Key terms: image, likeness, tselem, demut
Review routing: Human theologian

CRITICAL: «imagen» is the highest syncretism-risk term in this entire curriculum. In Hispanic Catholic devotional culture «imagen» primarily denotes a venerated statue or holy card of a saint or the Virgin. Every occurrence requires a mandatory teaching note that every human being, not a devotional object, images God.

The Fall and the Origin of Sin

Spanish name: la caída y el origen del pecado
Key terms: serpent, tree of knowledge, cursed, sin
Review routing: Human theologian

The entrance of sin into a previously good creation through genuine human disobedience, not divine entrapment or an already-flawed material world; «árbol del conocimiento del bien y del mal» must not suggest neutral information or magical wisdom.

Curse of Canaan — Historical Misuse Caution

Spanish name: la maldición de Canaán y su mal uso histórico
Key terms: cursed be Canaan, maldito sea Canaán
Review routing: Human theologian

CRITICAL: this text was documented misused to justify racialized chattel slavery and subjugation of Black and Indigenous peoples in the Americas; Spanish-language materials circulate directly within regions carrying this historical legacy. Mandatory teaching note in every occurrence rejecting any racialized application.

Protoevangelium — The Messianic Seed Promise

Spanish name: el protoevangelio y la promesa de la descendencia mesiánica
Key terms: seed of the woman, descendencia, he shall crush
Review routing: Human theologian

«Descendencia» must be rendered with a single consistent Spanish term across every seed-line occurrence in Genesis so the reader can trace the unfolding promise forward into the baseline’s Critical «Mesías» entry; inconsistent rendering would obscure the single unfolding promise-line.

The Abrahamic Covenant and Promise

Spanish name: el pacto y la promesa abrahámica
Key terms: go forth, seed, covenant, blessing, vete, descendencia, pacto, bendición
Review routing: Human theologian

The controlling covenant promise of the whole book, quoted directly by Paul (Galatians 3:8, 16; Romans 4). «Bendición» carries real prosperity-gospel flattening risk in contemporary Latin American popular piety; «pacto» must retain its baseline High-risk relational-covenantal force rather than collapsing into a bare legal contract.

Justification by Faith — Old Testament Anchor (Genesis 15:6)

Spanish name: la justificación por la fe: el ancla del Antiguo Testamento (Génesis 15:6)
Key terms: believed, counted/imputed as righteousness, creyó, justicia imputada
Review routing: Human theologian

CRITICAL: the direct Old Testament textual anchor of the baseline’s central Trent-vs-Reformation fault line. Must reuse «justicia imputada» exactly and must never drift toward «justicia infundida»; this verse is quoted verbatim in Romans 4:3, and any inconsistency between the Genesis and Romans renderings in this Language Package would directly undermine the doctrine of justification.

Providence and the Sovereignty of God

Spanish name: la providencia y la soberanía de Dios
Key terms: the LORD will provide, God sent me, God turned it for good, providencia
Review routing: Human theologian

Must avoid the fatalistic vernacular framing of «destino/suerte» common in everyday Hispanic speech while still affirming God’s genuine, personal, purposive sovereignty over human evil and suffering without excusing human moral responsibility.

Joseph and God’s Providence in Suffering

Spanish name: José y la providencia de Dios en el sufrimiento
Key terms: God sent me, God turned it for good, Dios me envió, Dios lo tornó en bien
Review routing: Human theologian

The doctrinal capstone of the whole Joseph narrative (50:20) must preserve both the reality and guilt of the brothers’ evil intent and God’s overruling sovereign good purpose in the same breath; this tension is easy to lose in a language where fatalistic «destino» idioms are common in everyday speech.

Prayer and Intercession — Old Testament Precursor

Spanish name: la oración y la intercesión: un precursor del Antiguo Testamento
Key terms: Abraham pleaded, intercedió, rogó
Review routing: Human theologian

CRITICAL by direct association with the baseline’s Critical «intercesión» entry — Abraham’s direct pleading with God models unmediated approach to God in prayer; popular Catholic piety across the Spanish-speaking world centers intercessory prayer on the saints and the Virgin Mary as mediators, so this precursor pattern must not be taught in a way that reinforces a saint/Marian-mediated model.

High Risk Doctrines

Male and Female in God’s Image

Spanish name: varón y mujer a la imagen de Dios
Key terms: male and female, varón y mujer
Review routing: Human theologian

A live contemporary flashpoint in Spanish-speaking cultural and ecclesial discourse around gender identity; the text’s plain created-binary sense must not be softened, qualified, or reinterpreted through translation choice.

Sabbath Rest and the Sanctification of Time

Spanish name: el reposo sabático y la santificación del tiempo
Key terms: rested, sanctified, santificó, reposó
Review routing: Human theologian

This is the first scriptural occurrence of the q-d-sh root behind the baseline’s «santificación» and «santos» entries; God’s rest is satisfied completion, not fatigue-recovery, and must not be collapsed into the later Mosaic Sabbath’s legal-observance framework nor a penitential/merit-based framing of holiness.

Sin’s Consequences (Curse Pronouncements)

Spanish name: las consecuencias del pecado (las maldiciones)
Key terms: cursed, maldito, maldición
Review routing: Human theologian

«Maldición» carries a major syncretism risk in Latin American popular culture, strongly associated with folk witchcraft, «mal de ojo», and curses removable by a curandero or ritual object; must be taught explicitly as a formal divine judicial pronouncement, not an impersonal magical hex.

Substitutionary Covering (Garments of Skin)

Spanish name: la cobertura sustitutoria (las túnicas de piel)
Key terms: garments of skin, túnicas de piel
Review routing: Human theologian

The first shadow of substitutionary atonement — God himself provides a covering requiring an animal’s death; must not be reduced in the base translation to a simple wardrobe detail without an accompanying teaching note on its later theological trajectory.

Sin as an Active, Personified Power

Spanish name: el pecado como poder activo y personificado
Key terms: sin is crouching, pecado
Review routing: Human theologian

Scripture’s first personification of sin as a crouching predator requiring active resistance; «pecado» must retain this vivid imagery and must never be softened to the minimizing euphemism «falta» per the baseline’s standing rule.

The Universal Spread of Sin

Spanish name: la propagación universal del pecado
Key terms: corrupted, se había corrompido, every inclination
Review routing: Human theologian

Establishes the universal scope of sin’s corrupting effect across all humanity prior to the Flood — direct Old Testament background for the baseline’s High-risk universal human accountability doctrine; must retain unqualified universal language.

Divine Grief and Unchanging Providence

Spanish name: el pesar divino y la providencia inmutable
Key terms: God regretted, se dolió, le pesó en su corazón
Review routing: Human theologian

A theologically delicate anthropopathism; «se dolió/le pesó en su corazón» must be taught with a note distinguishing genuine relational grief-language from any implication that God lacks foreknowledge or sovereign control, contradicting this curriculum’s own Providence doctrine.

The Noahic Covenant

Spanish name: el pacto noéico
Key terms: covenant, pacto, sign, señal
Review routing: Human theologian

Reuses the baseline’s High-risk «pacto» term exactly; establishes the pattern of gracious divine covenant-making later formalized with Abraham — must not be reduced to a mere legal contract.

Sons of God / Nephilim — Interpretive Caution

Spanish name: los «hijos de Dios» y los «nefilim»: una advertencia interpretativa
Key terms: sons of God, Nephilim, hijos de Dios, gigantes
Review routing: Human theologian

A contested identity among orthodox commentators (angelic beings vs. a human ruling dynastic line); translation and teaching notes must not silently resolve this interpretive debate through word choice or gloss.

Covenant Sign and Seal (Circumcision)

Spanish name: la señal y el sello del pacto (la circuncisión)
Key terms: circumcision, sign, circuncisión, señal
Review routing: Human theologian

Circumcision must be taught explicitly as a covenant sign following, not the basis producing, Abraham’s already-imputed righteousness from Genesis 15 — paralleling the baseline’s warning against a merit/works-based misreading of grace and justification, matching Romans 4:9-12.

Melchizedek Typology

Spanish name: la tipología de Melquisedec
Key terms: Melchizedek, king of righteousness, Melquisedec
Review routing: Human theologian

A typologically significant priest-king figure (cf. Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 5-7) whose name embeds the «justicia» root; teaching must not reduce this to a minor genealogical footnote given its later christological weight.

The Testing of Faith (Genesis 22)

Spanish name: la prueba de la fe (Génesis 22)
Key terms: tested, probó, the LORD will provide
Review routing: Human theologian

«Probó» must be distinguished from «tentó» (which would suggest God inciting Abraham toward sin, contradicting James 1:13); this fine but important distinction must survive translation.

Covenant Faithfulness across Generations

Spanish name: la fidelidad del pacto a través de las generaciones
Key terms: chesed, misericordia, birthright, vow, Israel
Review routing: Human theologian

«Chesed» (rendered «misericordia/fidelidad amorosa») has no single fully adequate Spanish equivalent and risks collapsing into generic «amor» or being conflated with «gracia» (chen); a standing teaching note distinguishing covenant loyalty from unmerited favor is required at every recurrence.

Idolatry and Household Gods

Spanish name: la idolatría y los dioses domésticos
Key terms: teraphim, ídolos, dioses domésticos
Review routing: Human theologian

Real contemporary syncretism relevance given object-veneration practices still present in parts of the Hispanic world; «teraphim» must be rendered unambiguously as false gods/idols, never as neutral «family heirlooms».

Davidic-Messianic Trajectory (Scepter of Judah)

Spanish name: la trayectoria davídico-mesiánica (el cetro de Judá)
Key terms: scepter, Shiloh, cetro, Siloh
Review routing: Human theologian

«Siloh» is an interpretively disputed term; translation and teaching notes must not silently foreclose the interpretive debate while still preserving the passage’s clear messianic trajectory connecting to the baseline’s Critical «Mesías» entry.

Medium Risk Doctrines

Divine Ordering of Creation

Spanish name: el ordenamiento divino de la creación
Key terms: formless and empty, firmament, light, kind
Review routing: Native speaker review

«Desordenada y vacía» must not suggest an independent, eternal chaos-force or rival deity, a risk given Ancient Near Eastern-adjacent creation-myth motifs surviving in some popular retellings; God orders his own raw material, not a co-eternal opposing power.

Dominion and Stewardship

Spanish name: el dominio y la mayordomía sobre la creación
Key terms: dominion, subdue, señorear, sojuzgar
Review routing: Native speaker review

«Dominio/sojuzgar» must be taught as accountable, care-oriented stewardship under God, not license for ecological or social exploitation; a live contemporary application risk given ongoing environmental and land-use debates across Latin America.

The Goodness of Creation

Spanish name: la bondad de la creación
Key terms: good, very good, bueno, muy bueno
Review routing: Native speaker review

«Bueno/muy bueno» must retain full moral-aesthetic weight, not a merely functional «útil»; this is the essential counterweight to the Fall — evil enters a genuinely good creation rather than being latent within an already-flawed material world.

Marriage as Covenant Union

Spanish name: el matrimonio como unión de pacto
Key terms: helper corresponding to him, one flesh, ayuda idónea, una sola carne
Review routing: Native speaker review

«Ayuda idónea» must not be rendered in a way implying servile inferiority, since «ezer» elsewhere describes God himself as Israel’s strong helper; a live contemporary flashpoint given ongoing debates about gender roles in Hispanic evangelical and Catholic contexts.

The Serpent and the Nature of Temptation

Spanish name: la serpiente y la naturaleza de la tentación
Key terms: serpent, crafty, serpiente, astuta
Review routing: Native speaker review

«Serpiente» must retain the narrative’s plain historical-theological sense as the tempter’s instrument, avoiding folk-magical serpent-charm framings present in some Latin American popular religion.

Common Grace

Spanish name: la gracia común
Key terms: favor, gracia, rainbow sign
Review routing: Native speaker review

God’s ongoing, undeserved sustaining care extended to all humanity and creation after the Flood, distinct from saving grace though doctrinally continuous with it; must not be flattened into a generic «buena suerte» reading of providential sustenance.

Birthright and Covenant Transmission

Spanish name: la primogenitura y la transmisión del pacto
Key terms: birthright, primogenitura
Review routing: Native speaker review

Esau’s contempt for his birthright models the danger of undervaluing covenant inheritance; «primogenitura» is lexically clear in Spanish, but the covenant-transmission weight should be taught explicitly rather than assumed as mere legal inheritance.

Revelatory Dreams as a Vehicle of Providence

Spanish name: los sueños reveladores como vehículo de la providencia
Key terms: dream, sueño
Review routing: Native speaker review

Must be taught as genuine God-given revelation, not assimilated to esoteric or superstitious dream-interpretation practice still current in parts of Hispanic folk culture, paralleling the baseline’s rejection of «horóscopo»/«predicción esotérica» for «profecía».

Mission to the Nations — Seedbed in Genesis

Spanish name: la misión a las naciones: su semillero en Génesis
Key terms: all the families of the earth, nations, misión, naciones
Review routing: Native speaker review

«Misión» retains the baseline’s mild historical association with the Spanish colonial mission system in the Americas; this text is Paul’s own citation (Galatians 3:8) for the gospel’s reach to the nations and should be taught with that trajectory explicitly in view.

Unity of Peoples — Seedbed for Jews and Gentiles

Spanish name: la unidad de los pueblos: semillero para judíos y gentiles
Key terms: nations, all the families of the earth, naciones, gentiles
Review routing: Native speaker review

No direct caste analogue in Hispanic culture, but regional and racial hierarchies around indigenous and Afro-descendant communities in Latin America make the «all the families of the earth» universal-blessing claim socially significant, not merely doctrinal, when taught alongside the later Romans doctrine of the Unity of Jews and Gentiles.
