I've sinned but I really didn't have a choice otherwise.....

How many people actually believe this is true?

If you do believe this, I'd like to ask you a few questions relative to God's "just" demands.

I'll start with one.

How do you establish a "just" sense of condemnation when there is no choice?

Duress?... Please explain.

If a person was working as a spy for their government and he/she was suspected of being one in the foreign land they were in, would they be sinning if they denied being a spy when directly asked?

Part of being a good spy is being a good liar.

Jesus would have not "opened His mouth". Jesus was good at ignoring questions and remaining silent when information was demanded from Him.

There is a significant difference between silence and giving false information.

I'm thinking in terms of if a gun was pointed at their head and an answer was demanded from them.

Got it. Sorry.

In a legal framework, we would reference this as "Duress Defense".

There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes
Another chance he takes
Odds are this line won't rhyme with anything

He seeks to never cause a scene.

Satan is a good spy......

He's probably the original Spy he wrote the handbook. Chapter number one. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

That "Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow" always bugged me. It should rhyme with the first two lines. But I can't think of anything that would work.

Odds are he won't be a money changer.
Odds are he won't live to see a ranger.
Odds are he won't be a flower arranger.

Odds are his mom forgot to tell him to never talk to a stranger.
