For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.This feels like a bit of a contradiction to me. Those who are evil avoid the Light, to avoid being exposed for what they have done. But all men are evil, so how do any come to the Light?
I guess this is getting back toward the Calvinism question again, where those who become saved are that way because God chose them out of the darkness. We didn't choose to come into the Light, God shone the Light on us. But didn't we still have to choose to accept it? And why did we accept it, rather than run back to the darkness where it's safe? Maybe I was just saved too young to understand how this works for those who are really aware of their sins.
