Of course. The Bible does encourage marriage but my point was that celibacy is not unscriptural.

"The Bible does encourage marriage but my point was that celibacy is not unscriptural."

It most certainly is unscriptural - furthermore it's called a "doctrine of devils". That's why it results in so much perversion. 1st Timothy 4:1 says:

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth."
