Since you both seem to agree that Jesus and Paul commend celibacy for "those who can accept it," where are celibates-for-the-kingdom-of-God in Protestantism?

Odd question...I had a cousin, now gone to be with the Lord...Never married...I don't think he even ever had a girlfriend...Farmer...Straight as the Seeney Stretch in the U.P. of Michigan...Lifetime born again Christian...Loved farming...Loved being single...Loved God...

Odd question...

Why? Jesus and St. Paul commend the celibate state as preferable to the married state, to those who can accept it. I would think that this recommendation would be important to followers of Christ.
