@andyfonseca3618 Жыл бұрын

Friend, God knitted you and all else that you said. However, just like me, you’re heart is full of sin. God our creator says that the soul who sins shall die, but God is merciful and sent His son (God in human flesh) to die that death we deserve. His name is Jesus and He bore the fullness of God’s wrath so that He or She who repents and believes in Jesus shall die naturally like everyone else, but live eternally with God in perfect fellowship. The moment you believe in the perfect work of Jesus, you and God will be at peace, and your sins will be forgiven totally. You’ll be the son or daughter of the very Creator who made you! Please repent and believe in Jesus, hell is real but so is God’s forgiveness through His Son.

Of all these wax figures, when they're at a museum on display, they will be kept inside a display case that is made exclusively with transparent plexiglass and the plexiglass cases are extremely thick and they're also bulletproof. This is because the wax figures take a very long time to complete, some could take even longer to complete and it takes a lot of time and effort. These wax figures are also worth a lot of money, but they're quite fragile and it will be a humongous loss if they get destroyed so it makes sense to have the display cases that they're being put into to be bulletproof.
