Mr. Scott,
I am glad we see things in a similar light. You and I both understand that in the situations I mentioned the humans fell short on their commitment. That does not give it justification. The easy way out would have been to accept his decision and not say anything. In speaking I took a gamble that Matt would not speak to me again and that it would make us feel uncomfortable around each other. That would make two things in my life less enjoyable. 1: Serving at Church when he was around. and 2: A warm Chick-Fil-A biscuit. :)
1Cor. 5:12 says "12What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside?" I am not condemning him for his decisions. I am just called to speak truth. As we all are. If I am misguided in my beliefs, may God show me my error and work with me to correct it. God has done greater things than resurrecting a marriage. As you, I pray that he does in this situation.

Re: What then do I write?

Matt Scott. In the past I have found what you have to say intelligent and thought provoking. Although we disagree in some areas, it is fun to read what you really think. When you say things like “If God gives more of a shit about my marriage then about the millions that of people going hungry tonight, then who should give a shit about God?” that makes me think. A lot of the time people wouldn't say things like that, but that could be what you feel and I enjoy your point of view. I don't think that question was meant for me to give my answer so I will refrain, but I think you should go back to what you did before. Just because people may disagree or agree with your point of view doesn't mean that your thoughts are correct or misguided. So I would respond...If you play it safe, it is not you and would be pointless to write about anything. Have a good week. I enjoy your conversations.

Mr. Scott,
As a brother in Christ I agree. It is brave of Matt to post such a heart wrenching issue for the world to see. I respect both of their privacy and trust the Holy Sprit to guide them. Biblically their are very few ways that a marriage should end. Not knowing if these situations have occurred I speak this as if they did not.
Where I disagree is this. Yes there are times when two people make a mistake in their commitment to one another. Those mistakes are to be corrected before marriage. The covenant we enter into when we say "I do" is not something that could just be corrected. When God made a covenant with Abraham he didn't correct it when he had Ishmael instead of trusting that God would provide a child from Sara. When Jonathan made a covenant with David he didn't correct it when Saul decided that he would try and kill him. When Christ was on the cross he didn't waver in His covenant relationship with Us. And when we sin Christ doesn't correct his commitment because He loves us more than we love Him. That is all I am saying. I love Matt Scott and I would do anything to help him out. Speaking truth into his life is far more important that anything else I can do. Thanks for your consideration.

themattscott... In every Christian way I am judging you. Although I know NO details of your situation, I know that the path you are on in NOT the way to go. I could give you every bible verse and self help quote there is to try to sway you, but I know they would be in vain. I know you are VERY intelligent, but I also know you are making a terrible mistake. Divorce is a breaking of a Covenant between you two and God. As much as I am sure you have had many long discussions with close friends and mentors, I want to let you know how I feel about this situation. You are bowing to your human weakness and desires. I really respect your desire to read and learn more, but I think with all the knowledge you have gained you have lost your way. Marriage is a representation of Christ and His church. In all of our human faults Christ still obeyed His father and until death. Christ was obedient to His father and had His will be done in His life and Death. The Covenant Christ made with his Church is forever. When we as Married Christians make that Covenant between us and God we submit to His will in both of our lives till death do us part. I urge you to stand firm in the Love of Christ and fulfill the Covenant you two made. You have been and will be in my prayers to the God who created us and Loves us. You are my friend and my brother. May the God you serve resurrect your relationship and your marriage.
