As for Christology, that does matter, but not nearly so much as sin.
Believers who testify that they are addicted to sin and so is everybody else
is of much more serious concern than those whose Christology seems
defective. DM
I find this humorously off course. To put anything ahead of Christological didache is a definite predictor of coming and pronounced error. If your Christology is wrong or false, your view of sin will mirror that circumstance.
David's addiction is both evident and frequesntly expressed. Alas, we cannot escape our own person. My addiction is not apparent to anyone but myself and God. Perhaps this means that I am closer to full victory than David !! What think ye?
