"Celibacy is UNNATURAL!"

It's unscriptural, too.

You must not be familiar with Paul's encouragement of celibacy. (1 Corinthians chapter 7)

"You must not be familiar with Paul's encouragement of celibacy. (1 Corinthians chapter 7)"

I'm very familiar with it. He never encouraged it as a doctrine to be imposed without exception as the Roman church does. His exceptions here are at least as notable as the mention of being like him, as he was, traveling without a wife.
He said by all means marry. There's nothing wrong with it.

Peter did.
