moral conflicts are real because of life in a fallen world. However, the option chosen is not evil, and it is not correct to say that the person chose the “lesser evil.” The choice is a morally justifiable option, not sin, and thus there is no need for repentance. This view attempts to combine the nature of God’s commands, the reality of life in a fallen world, and a proper understanding of moral accountability. Therefore in this view, Corrie ten Boom should have lied to protect the Jews she was harboring, and she would have been morally justified in lying to protect their lives.
