Hello.

Can God create a situation in which a Christian has to face a moral dilemma and go for "the lesser sin"? (I.e. to choose the smaller evil) Or should the Christian look for a third alternative that he/she cannot see at that time, to do only good?

In Bible is written that the will of God for a life of a Christian is to abstain from every kind of evil.

But in life there are moral dilemmas..

Here is Google's definition of a dilemma: "a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially ones that are equally undesirable"

I have conducted a research already. There are dilemmas in life. Eg trolley problem, or Sophie's Choice.

I hope that there is a solution, I hope that we are here to only do good as Bible says.

But in both trolley problem and Sophie's Choice, if you do good to one, you do evil to the other...
