No, Paul didn't think celibacy was the highest form of existence.

Well, maybe you'll believe Jesus:

Matthew 19:12

For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage[ 19:12 Or have made themselves eunuchs] because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."

[Illbay]

Kind of a weird translation.

Furtunately, we have latter-day revelation to clarify things. In our belief it is impossible to live in the presence of God without a choice companion to whom you are sealed for eternity.

I can see how it pleases Satan, though, to put about the rumor that it's the other way around.
