Do you think Paul was inspired when he said (celibacy required) the unmarried should remain so and the married should act as if they were single?

I believe Paul WAS inspired, yes. I don't agree with your depiction of what he said, but ....

Does "should" now imply a commandment to you? Or was there perhaps more to that verse?

Why don't you read 1 Corinthians 7: and tell me what your depiction of Paul's attitude was towards marriage and sex. Further, note the shifts between his personal opinion and the commandments of God.

1 Corinthians 7:
1: Now concerning the matters about which you wrote. It is well for a man not to touch a woman.

8: To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is well for them to remain single as I do.

29: I mean, brethren, the appointed time has grown very short; from now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none,

Does "should" now imply a commandment to you? Or was there perhaps more to that verse?

If you want to play games with the truth go on without me.
