Reverend whatever is human title. But if you're talking about celibacy, it's an issue of choice or conviction.

Matthew 19:12
12 For there are eunuchs who have been born incapable of marriage; and there are eunuchs who have been made so by men; and there are eunuchs who have made themselves incapable of marriage for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let him who is able to accept this accept it.

To add to what Joagbaje said, Paul also said the following:

1 Cor 7
1Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 4The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 5Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 6But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. 7For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that

There is ABSOLUTELY nothing 'reverend' about those fathers, mothers, brothers or sisters.
That is the sin right there! kiss
Even as "Eunuchs" they still ma-sturbate at night.
They phock more than you or I secretely too! cheesy
Some even multiply and divide more than you and I.
Check the fatherless/motherless babies homes.
DNA tests will convince you. . .too bad it becomes an 'unspoken' taboo!
Ask the Catholic priests and the alter boys too! kiss

To add to Hutchie, and also to request for an explanation from the house.

1 Corinth 7:18-19, Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcisation is nothing. Keeping God's commandments is what counts.

Now was Paul saying here that if you are called while you are maybe single you should remain single etc?

I understand that whether you are rev sister or father etc, what matters is keeping God's commandments not d titles.

Waiting!

East,
Absolutely not. That is not what Paul was saying at all. He was talking about literal circumcission. Circumcission is nothing because it is the circumcission of the foreskin of your heart that really matters (De 10:16, Jer 4:4, Rom 2:29). If you read the previous verses he stated clearly that if you cannot contain your passions as a single person you should marry - let everyone be according to their own calling. He himself said that he had the power to lead about a wife but he personally chose not to (1 Cor 9:5).

and cutting one's organ is also by choice.there are those born eunuchs (impotent?),those made by men (celibacy?)and those who made themselves (mutilation?).sometime ago we saw the video of a "devout" christian cutting off his peni$ because he didnt want to sin any longer:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICO1X-JEL9o

and remember Jesus is reported to have said also if any of your organs makes you sin,cut it off!

It is NOT written anywhere in scripture that a married man touching his wife is a sin. Perhaps you need to read the scripture again.

I guess I am not sure what your point is really. Perhaps it is a sin for man to appropriate titles such as Rev Father etc to themselves because Jesus specifically instructed the Disciples and consequently the church not to seek to add titles to themselves (Matt 23:8-12). Now not everyone will procreate and produce offsprings because as we well know some women are barren and also some men may have problems which make them unable to impregnate a woman. So there are married couples in this world, though they may have the ability to have sex they cannot produce offsprings. For someone to take a vow of celibacy this should be by choice and it is NOT a sin if you choose not to marry. It is perhaps wrong for anyone to command another not to marry however if we look at these verses from 1 Tim 4:

1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3Forbidding 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.

So to reiterate the point the Lord said to Adam and Eve go into the world and multiply but this is not an instruction to everyone on the planet because some people make themselves eunuchs for the gospel, others are made eunuchs of men, and some were born that way.
