I've never heard any believer refer to a second book of the Bible as "two". I've also never heard a believer refer to a verse as the whole ballgame.

I'll have to watch the video and see the context before making a conclusion.

[Hawthorn]

When speaking of II Corinthians, some have been known to call it “Eleven” Corinthians.

So at least we should give the hapless Trump a break for not indulging in that particular malapropism!

[SeaHawkFan]

How many people hear actually believe Trump even knew of this verse much before his speech, and that someone didn’t give it to him to insert into his speech.?

[RetSignman]

I seem to remember, after making his statement about the passage, he asked the audience if he stated it right and I didn’t hear a resounding NOOOOOOOO!!!

Ergo, he didn’t claim to be a ‘know it all’ about the Bible’s chapter and verse , like some on here.

[brothers4thID]

My take:

His speech writer ( or the person who helps him with his crib notes if Donald “writes his own speeches”) decided that Donald needed a verse referencing liberty while speaking at Liberty University. Note writer prints out 2 Corinthians 3:17 and Trump reads it exactly as written.

It’s just political pandering. No one should be shocked by it.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Tumrp!

[JimRed]

He at least acknowledges the Bible as a source worthy of quotation; that’s much more than most progressives!

[snarkpup]

This issue is apparently a big deal in the Discordian religion. From their Five Commandments:

II - A Discordian Shall Always use the Official Discordian Document Numbering System.

Rush said it the SAME WAY when Rush reported it on his show earlier today. Are the Cruz-ayatollahs gonna judge Rush's faith, too?

We have all fallen short of the glory of the Lord.

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

Does a believer in God have to know the versus of the bible?

More importantly, can an individual who has never read the bible be a believer in God?

[hoosiermama]

Heard it often as a child from my maternal grandfather (we found a mark in his bible after his death He celebrated the 8th complete ready of the Bible on his 80th birthday He was very religious although church was too far away so he had his own service)
His father , my great grandfather came from the same region of Germany that Trumps grandfather came from. In fact in a family picture there is a Julia Trump.
So It probably is a familial usage

[InvisibleChurch]

Really? Two Corinthians is bungling? No wonder Christians can’t get along with themselves.

[wardaddy]

I listened to the whole speech

The crowd loved him

But y’all have fun

[Honorary Serb]

I’ve heard plenty of Christian believers call it “Two Corinthians”.

It’s not a flub, but an alternative version!

[Vision]

So you'd rather nick pick how he identified the verse and made his point?

How about 1 Samuel 16:7 then?

The Bible Gateway does exactly that.

Exodus (Shemot) is the second book of the Bible, whether someone is a believer or not.
