Do these men exist? Paul wrote to the Corithians in chapter 7 I think "It is godd for a man not to marry?" Can there be such a person? Someone who walks the path of lifelong celabacy in service to the Lord? How do they manage any frustration? How do they face this challenge in todays Fruedian world, where celebacy at your teenage years is almost becoming unaviodable?
How about we create a website, make up biographies, or take up real stories and animate the lives of these ideal human beings, to show that they do exist, that men and woman can have integrity, self control, and purity (who else would be better living examples of them?) all for the glory of God. They could also be in different, perhaps the hardes situtations: like in the urban city or the so-called "ghetto"; or maybe in the Middle East. Someone could be a marriage councelor or in the mission field; and the next person who dosent marry to serve God and his Country on the battlefield. There could be young people who want to make this decision, despite the peer pressure. The website could also have a section for those who don't know what their calling is yet, guidelines for the celebant lifestyle, perhaps even a forum!
I wonder, was Fred Rogers celebant? I can't rememver his bio.
Well, what do you think?
Do you know anyone like this?

Talk to a Roman Catholic nun or priest. :thumbsup: I have a family member that has also never been married and she doesn't seem to need it to me (enough for me to consider marriage as not all that important, anyway). :)
