Sin

Here's a question:
Is it possible to commit a sin, but not be guilty of it because you didn't really want to? (Say, if a person felt pressured into sin?) Thoughts?

Sin is sin.
Sometimes it is intentional (willful or presumptupous sins - Psalm 19:13)
Sometimes it's unintentional, or unrecognized (hidden sins - Psalm 19:12)
"If you really didn't want to, however, " sounds like a familiar excuse -
in the story of the Garden of Eden,
Eve said in effect, "I didn't really want to, but was pressured into it by the serpent",
and Adam said in effect, "I didn't really want to, but was pressured into it by Eve."

I think that most sin is "being pressured into it".
"I want to do what is good, but I don't. I don't want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway."(Romans 7:19)
but like Lanny said, sin is sin.
