God judges sins and a person’s intentions.

I don’t believe that you can be in the middle. One chooses good or evil. There is no middle ground that it doesn’t affect us. A person can be left alone to a point, but we all have to deal with life and choices. It is natural to want to know and seek the truth.

If one wants to be alone from God, it appears to me a choice to reject divine love that Jesus selflessly offered on the cross to God the Father as doing the Father’s will and to offer himself to save us from sin and restore us to share in heaven with God.

The story of the apparitions at Lourdes, includes the famous line: “For those who believe in God, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible.”

“If one wants to be alone from God, it appears to me a choice to reject divine love that Jesus selflessly offered on the cross to God the Father as doing the Father’s will and to offer himself to save us from sin and restore us to share in heaven with God.”

So you are saying that wanting to be alone is a rejection of God.

If one needs to be alone to figure oneself out, to enjoy the freedom of not having constant demands placed on one so that one has a calm mind... then I would think that God should see this as a necessary condition for a true choice. You might need space to really be free to figure things out.

So I don’t believe wanting to be alone is a rejection of God. It is a state where one can honestly determine what’s best for oneself.
