The word rapture does not appear in the Bible yet everyone know exactly what we are referring to. And there are others.
There is a big difference in this case. Whereas "rapture," "trinity," etc are non-Biblical words, the word "shepherd" is a Biblical word. Therefore, we can not be at liberty to assign that word to a person/office/doctrine that the Bible does not.
