False claim[1], "Paul Exhorts Celibacy, But Jesus Clearly Says It is A Choice Not Within Everyone's Power."

  1. If this was true, then why does Paul talk about ministers and bishops being a "husband of one wife."1 Timothy 3:2, Titus 1:6. In one of the few references to being unmarried, he specifically says that the idea of remaining single is "not of commandment". 1 Corinthians 7:6. He is even critical of those "Forbidding to marry" in 1 Timothy 4:3. There is no reason to believe that Celibacy played any role in the early Church.
