Biblical heroes of Christianity like the apostles and Saint Paul are well known for their bravery in leading their flocks. Stephen was even stoned to death after a heated discussion with the Jews. Never can we see in the bible that the courageous leaders of the Christian faith bowed down or cower to such outside pressure to give away their leadership to some unknown personality. The apostles and the Christian leaders are not cowards. Our Lord Jesus Christ and the other Christian martyrs risked and lost their lives because of their firm faith to the church.
