Well, lemme see...the Shakers forbade marriage...well, they sprang up during the latter days..

My first thought is this whole false RC priesthood and nunnary. You forbid leaders to marry when the bible makes marriage one of the first requirements of leadership.

Of course.

1 Cor 7:7 I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own special gift from God, one of one kind and one of another.

1 Cor 7:32-33 I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord; but the married man is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please his wife,

Mat 19:11 But he said to them, "Not all men can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given.

Mat 19:12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it."

(obviously, in the last case he is speaking metaphorically)

You really should study your Sacred Scripture more.
