It's not a waffle, my friend. You obviously objected to my statement that celibacy is a freely elected discipline and not mandated by the Scripture, so I merely asked you to show where it was.
As for the calling, the monastic life of East and West Christendom chooses celibacy as higher and purer life style -- that choice, however, is not so much a choice as much as it is a conversion, when worldly passions subside as one dies unto himself. The more spiritual one becomes the more celibate he will be.
I respect the Latin tradition of imposing a mandatory celibacy on all its clergy. It is a discipline of the Church, as is the married clergy of the East. It's all one Church.
As for "Bible belivers," I have made it very clear that anything other than the Apostolic Church is not a church by definition of authority, so no need to delve into their "understanding" of any tradition.
Your first mistake "Celibacy in the Latin Church is a long-standing, self-imposed human discipline, nothing else. It is not Scriptural." then you tried to massage that gaffe by asking "Where does it say in the Scripture that celibacy is required?"
As you have previously stated "No need to sugarcoat the truth." pal. You screwed up. Admit it.
