I seriously can’t believe I wasted my time opening this bullshit.

People really have that much time on their hands debating the semantics of 2 vs 2nd???

Get a life people!!!

I believe that’s the inspiration behind Liberty University.

Freedom comes from faith in God.

Of course, that’s not what’s affirmed in the popular culture.

"Just exactly what is the “proper” way to say it?"

The way anyone who has attended more than one church service in their entire life would immediately know how to say it.

I've never heard any believer refer to a second book of the Bible as "two"

Well, my Bible does show it as 2 (Two) Corinthians and not Second Corinthians. But I guess my body isn't completely riddled with Trump hatred that makes me twitch and spasm when he doesn't exude the qualities of perfection you demand.

This is pretty much the Trump version of “corpse-man”. Reading copy written by somebody else on a subject you know nothing about. But, as someone above noted, he’s not running for Pastor in chief.

This is silly. The speech was fine. Just consider the source of the story. If that is all they have on Trump, Trump wins in a landslide.

I wonder if he meant John 3:16

Liberty from the works set forth in the first covenant requirement of salvation. For instance, circumcisions.

Because in some translations it ends “there is liberty”; and he’s speaking at Liberty University.

That’s my guess.

You guys are pathetic. This is what you are reduced to? Critiquing whether Trump says 2 or 2nd? Go to a Catholic Church, you’ll here it either way depending on who does the reading. It’s not a big deal.

Trump seems to think that Cruz has the edge with religious people. He’s probably right.

But Two Corinthians sounds weird ... it’s never called that. I’ve been to Bible studies all my life and never heard it. But I guess we shouldn’t judge.

Two Corinthians 3:17..... Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Wonder if he knows that means freedom not to sin?

You got that right.

But if he’s playing the Pope card, he can be called, can’t he?

LOL, right now I would prefer Trump over Francis for Pope.

Yes, in the book of New Testaments:

I. Corinthians
II. Corinthians

Just that people born and raised in Queens have a different way of talking. Very different from the rest of humanity.
