The Bible says in John 3:16-36 that whoever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ shall not perish but have everlasting life, the Bible also says in Romans 10:9 that those who declare with their mouth that Jesus Christ is their God, Lord, and Savior they shall be saved. Revelation 1:8 says that Jesus is the alpha and the omega. Luke and revelation is the ending times, and Jesus is returning back. So are you going to submit your life to him or no? Narrow is the path that leads to the gates of heaven, but only few people find it. The gates that is the path to destruction is where many people find it! Jesus loves you SO MUCH! That he died on the cross, and was resurrected from the dead 3 days later to give us eternal life…!.!.!.!.

I just wanted to say that one fact: basking sharks are actually very harmless. They don’t crunch u up or anything because they can’t close their mouth. Basking sharks are also the most bizarre sharks in the world. Maybe along with hammerhead but basking sharks are more interesting and beastish. So folks, basking sharks are harmless to u may swim with them whenever u want! Good luck!

[@cawsomeaolin]

0:18 what is this then?

[@commandorpirx912]

@Archie Polglase I think what she meant was that basking sharks, being filter-feeders, don't really bite, so that when they close their mouths, they do it slowly and with very little force, probably not enough to hurt you even if you put your arm in there.

@@moreglutesmoredudes9974 Not really. There's a decent chance you'd have experienced it too if you grew up where I did and went fishing occasionally.
