Christ's words tally with independent advice, primarily (5)

I believe the answer is:

logia

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'christ's words' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'tally with independent advice primarily' is the wordplay.
'tally with' becomes 'log' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'primarily' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'independent advice' is 'ia'.
'log'+'ia'='LOGIA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for logia that I've seen is " Sayings attributed to Christ".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
