Ted Cruz preached tolerance for the LGBT community during a Twitter spat with a pastor.
"Let he that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her," Cruz tweeted.
The Texas senator then invoked another Bible verse to support his argument that gay people should not be persecuted.
We are talking the laws of man, not the Old Testament laws of God,'" Cruz tweeted.
Cruz also mentioned another Bible verse — "let he that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her" — arguing that it is cruel and hypocritical to judge others for sinning.
