a lot of the chapter called "the man and his mind" in Packer's thesis on Baxter is about the way theologians are very good at taking their first idea on a subject as an absolute truth...
"The majority prefer to treat their first ideas as the last word and to defend them to the last ditch"
Baxter is quoted as saying that many argurements have been had in the church over "unsearchable things, which neither side understood, or about ambigious words, which one party taketh in one sense, and another in another"
I've lots to learn...
