Several of my brothers and sisters have already answered this, but I will give you the text from the NIV:
Matthew 4:5-7:
5Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6"If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written:
" 'He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.' "
7Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'
That quoted, I will tell you that if I were in that position, and not of my own doing, I would absolutely trust God to protect me.
Axel, this is the easiest question to answer that you've asked yet. May I suggest that maybe you don't have enough knowledge of Christianity or the Bible to be making the claims and asking the questions you do?
Just a thought.

I mean anyone would be scared even you lol but sharks dont attack unless they are threatened or smell blood read about it
and no sane person would just jump into a tank full of sharks without taking proper precautions and lastly i believe if i were forced in i would pray to GOD and hope if i could be spared, if not then i would have whole hearted faith that i would be in the wonderful kingdom of heaven not having to deal with ignorance and judgemental people such as yourself

Booooo.. i'm no longer Christian, yet calling all people who save on with Christ a hypocrit is inaccurate on your section. What precisely is there to income from this "question?" could you be chuffed if different Christian's agreed that they could certainly experience worry and hence no longer have a hundred% faith that their god could shield them from the sharks? And what if some disagree and say they'd not experience any worry, could that upset you and make you indignant by way of fact on your strategies they're mendacity? I comprehend the area you're giving right here, yet you're actually not likely asking a uncomplicated question, relatively you're attempting to establish a 'no win' concern to the Christian's who % to respond to it. Love and lightweight Blessed Be.

Jesus also told the Devil "Do not tempt the Lord, thy God."
Why must you "Christian Bash" people because of their beliefs?
It really seems like a cheap thrill for you.

It is written: "Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the test." (Unless you want to get bitten in the asss by a shark.)
