“No, celibacy is NOT the ideal.”

Even more so, Paul said that forbidding to marry was the doctrine of the devil.

1 Tim 4:
1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

Paul was given a vision of the future where he sees false churches. He briefly mentions this and says that some will teach a doctrine of not getting married and others will teach against eating meat.

It is, what it is. There are only one church that teaches celibacy over marriage and only one that teaches against meat.

I do think the Lord wants us to celebrate life, not celebate it. There is plenty of evidence of this in the Bible. We know there is a thing called Holy Matrimony-—but I have never heard of Holy Celibacy. Celibacy does need to be a requirement for service in this priesthood.
