Q - Do you encourage sinful living?
A - Pipilitin kong huwag mapikon sa tanong at sagutin na lang ng simpleng: "Of course not!"
Pipilitin ko ring i-take ang tanong as a compliment kasi even Jesus was called by his critics as "a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of sinners and tax collectors." The ministry of Jesus is to give rest, and his burden is light. I love it when sinners relax enough to unburden, seek help and find acceptance.
I'd love it if people would consider me a friend of sinners. Brand yata ni Jesus yun! 
I'm not eager to be called an ally of Pharisees, especially the modern-day types.

Needless to say we do not encourage sinful living (although dapat suriin at i-redefine yang "sin" word na yan. Kasi, sa maraming relihiyoso, lahat na lang sin.)
But while we do not encourage sin, we do accept and not judge fellow forgiven sinners; kahit hindi pa sila perfect --- o kahit hindi pa sila maging perfect ever in this life.
No apologies, mga apo.
