1Ch 16:22 [Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

Please. What a tired arguement. It does not matter what religious "stature" someone has - if they ENDORSE someone who has PUBLICLY sinned without addressing the LACK of repentence, there is a doubt whether they are a "prophet" or not. Here is what a prophet does:

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus and said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him." For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife. Because John had said to him, It is not lawful for you to have her." And although he wanted to put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. Matt 14:1-5

Billy Graham's response to Bill Clinton's sex acts in the Oval Office: "He has such a tremendous personality that I think the ladies just go wild over him."

A prophet of the Most High G-d does not slander G-d by ENDORSING unrepentent sinners, and enabling their continuing sin with a wink and a nod. If he wants to befriend the Clintons in order to counsel them toward the path of life, that is great - but a PUBLIC endorsement was shameful - and no, John 3:16 does not trump addressing sin. Think about it. If sin was something we could wink and nod about, then we trample all the Scriptures about G-d's grace.

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? Rom 6:1-2
