Students are freaking out on Yik Yak after Donald Trump swore and flubbed a bible verse during a speech at a Christian university

During a speech on Monday at Liberty University, a Christian university in Lynchburg, Virginia, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump quoted the bible when speaking to the student body.

There was just one problem, instead of saying the verse came from "Second Corinthians," Trump mistakenly attributed the verse to "Two Corinthians," pronouncing the New Testament Bible book as it is often written, with the number "2": "2 Corinthians."

Students who live on the Liberty campus were required to attend Trump's speech, Mashable reports. And now, it appears those same students are really letting Trump have it on Yik Yak, an anonymous, location-based digital messaging board that is popular on many college campuses.

Here's a look.

While another criticized Trump for referencing the bible all together.

During his speech, Trump also used the word "hell" according to several Yik Yak users. Liberty University has a strict student code of conduct which prohibits the use of "obscene, profane, or abusive language." Swearing is not permitted, so Trump using the word hell could be controversial for some students.

Here's another Yik Yak user's take on Trump's colorful language.

Following the speech, Yik Yak users at Liberty University seem pretty divided about Trump's performance and his potential presidency. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens at the Iowa caucuses in the coming weeks.
