What does the Bible say about man's desire to be separated from God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that man's desire to be separated from God stems from a longing greed to find wisdom on his own terms.

Proverbs 18:1 reveals that through desire, a man separates himself from God, seeking wisdom but not the wisdom of God. This desire is rooted in a rebellious nature, as demonstrated in Psalm 2:1-2, where the heathen rage against the Lord, striving for independence from Him. Adam's initial disobedience led to mankind's inclination to seek wisdom apart from God, illustrating our innate desire to uphold our own will over God's.
