Part 2: Animal Magnetism
by Pastor Mark Downey
This is a peculiar expression which has taken on so many applications that it may mean one thing to one person and something else to another. But if we go back to the original concept, we can see how it usurps the Word of God. Some of you may think animal magnetism is the romantic relationship between men and women, and others may think it has something to do with unexplainable animal behavior such as migratory sea turtles or birds traveling from one hemisphere to the other. Whenever we don't know exactly how God's creation works, inevitably, some wise guy will try to fill in the blanks. This can easily lead to an apostasy of the imagination. The adversaries of Christianity want you to fall away from reality in your mind. Thus, from all sorts of unusual phenomena in living organisms, they try to dissociate people from God.
