...councils of men? Like the Bible says would happen. The world hates Jesus Christ and when you confess him, evil and corrupt men and women will ridicule you and drag you before their so called peers and rulers to condemn you.

However a couple of years later the boss accepted Jesus Christ and he remembered the courage of his employee.
