(And Why Christians Can’t Afford to Stay Ignorant Anymore)
For many Christians, the word Nephilim sounds unfamiliar, strange, or even suspicious.
That alone should trouble us.
The Nephilim appear directly in Genesis, at a turning point so severe that God judges the entire world. Yet many believers go their entire lives without ever hearing a serious teaching on who they were, what they represented, or why their influence mattered.
This isn’t because the Bible is unclear. It’s because the topic is uncomfortable.
Biblical Ignorance Disguised as “Discernment”
Many Christians are taught, explicitly or implicitly, that studying ancient religions, pagan history, or spiritual deception is dangerous.
“Don’t look into that.”
“That’s occult.”
“That opens doors.”
But Scripture never warns against knowledge. It warns against deception.
Avoiding the truth does not protect the Church. It weakens it.
Ironically, fear of learning about paganism often leaves believers more vulnerable, not less, unable to recognize deception when it appears wearing religious language and spiritual symbolism.
Why the Nephilim Disrupt Comfortable Theology
The Nephilim force Christians to confront difficult realities:
That fallen angels were real, intelligent, and organized.
That rebellion against God was not random, but strategic.
That false gods were not imaginary concepts, but active spiritual entities.
This shatters the idea that ancient religions were merely cultural myths.
When Shepherds Refuse to Warn the Sheep
Scripture repeatedly warns about wolves in sheep’s clothing, not just outside the Church, but within it.
Sometimes this looks like silence.
Sometimes it looks like avoidance.
Sometimes it looks like pastors who refuse to teach the hard parts of Scripture.
A Church fed only comfort is not prepared for conflict.
Many Christians Don’t Know Because They Were Never Taught
Most believers reject the Nephilim conversation not because they studied it, but because they were never taught it.
God does not waste words.
If the Nephilim were irrelevant, they would not appear where judgment begins.
Paganism Isn’t the Threat, Deception Is
Learning about pagan belief systems does not make someone pagan.
Darkness thrives in ignorance, not light.
A Call for Christian Diligence:
Christians are commanded to test the spirits and rightly divide truth.
The Nephilim Theory
This article explains why the truth has been neglected.
The book explains what the truth reveals.
Not every truth makes it into a Sunday sermon.
The Govasana email list exists to equip believers beyond the pulpit.
Final Word…
The Church does not need less truth to stay safe.
It needs more truth to stay awake.
Thank you for staying alert, staying biblical, and refusing comfortable ignorance.
