Now let's turn the tables.
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?

My daughter would be one. Has chosen not to be married to be able to spend more time in missions.

They don't answer to me. That's between them and God.
So maybe you can answer the questions in post 161...
So what’s the big deal with celibacy anyway?
Is it supposed to be more virtuous? Make someone more holy?
What’s the issue with sex that the Catholic church has that it exalts virginity and celibacy so much?
