Present Perfect<\/em><\/p>\n

Published by Zondervan 2010<\/strong><\/p>\n

[I]n their scheme of spirituality, in one way or another, contemplatives are forced to deny the sin nature … Any denial of a sin nature affirms the \u201cself\u201d and the \u201cself\u201d neither wants nor needs a Savior!<\/em><\/p>\n

Book Review by Larry DeBruyn<\/strong><\/p>\n

The “Spiritual Secret” of Greg Boyd.<\/p>\n

“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” 1 John 1:8, KJV<\/p>\n

On the cover of Gregory A. Boyd\u2019s recently published book, Present Perfect: Finding God in the Now, this endorsement appears:<\/p>\n

\u201cDiscover a spiritual secret that is as simple as it is profound. Highly recommended.\u201d\u2014Brian D. McLaren, author, speaker, and activist[1]<\/p>\n

One \u201cspiritual secret\u201d in Boyd\u2019s book may be discovered in a footnote to the second chapter, Finding Home.[2] The secret is: \u201cWe no longer have a \u2018sinful nature\u2019.\u201d Wow! Assuming the author is writing about Christians, the author asserts they no longer have a sinful nature (i.e., nature equals the essential properties of a thing). In other words, our nature is \u201cperfect now\u201d! Within the Christian psyche there no longer resides an inner disposition to sin, a \u201csinful nature.\u201d Possessing inner immunity against sinning, Christians can conduct their lives in the present perfect. As with Roman Catholics Brother Lawrence (c. 1614-1691) and Jean Pierre de Caussade (1675-1751), and the evangelical Frank Laubach (1884-1970), there is no inner barrier that hinders Christians from contemplating God 24\/7. They can sense God\u2019s presence in everything they do throughout every minute of the day, which is what Boyd\u2019s book is all about.[3]<\/p>\n

Present Perfect<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the base of the contemplative experience lies the assertion, \u201cWe no longer have a \u201csin nature.\u201d The assumption becomes necessary because Scripture states that sin is a barrier between people and God. The prophet Isaiah stated: \u201cBut your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear\u201d (Isaiah 59:2, KJV). Granted, what the prophet denounces in this instance are specific acts of sin, but these sins stemmed out of a sin nature. The prophet Habakkuk also said to the Lord: \u201cThou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity\u201d (Habakkuk 1:13). So to insure there\u2019s no roadblock to contemplating God, the existence of a sin nature within Christians must be denied, something Boyd\u2019s statement does.
