Forbidding marriage is a false teaching, doctrine of demons.
Even the Jewish Priests who entered the temple where the Lord's glory the Shekinah glory arrived, where not just anyone could enter, and who had to follow strict hygiene protocols, were married with children.
Hizi nguvu zinazoogelewa ni nguvu gani, za kimwili, kwamba utaweza kubeba Lory? Za kiakili kwamba utakuwa the next Isaac Newton?
What empowers someone spiritually / intellectually who doesn't marry / abstains is not the abstinence, its what he does during abstinence: spending time with the Lord, and the Lord in return rewards him. hebrews.11.6.
All of the widely known Intellectuals + faithful spiritual men I know (kina Chuck Missler, Dr. Michael Heiser, Dr. James Tour etc) have wives and children.
Isaac Newton who didn't marry, was a devout Christian, who made great discoveries in his early 20s alone. (I like that he was also interested in the time of Christ return, he calculated it to be around 2060 π)

By the way I genuinely beleive the scientists these days dont make as many discoveries as the scientists in past centuries becasue of all the group thinking / peer review crap.
If you're looking for greater things (I don't mean money, you can go be a pornstar for that) appeal to the heavens, to the LORD. If you can stay celibate for this purpose, even better!
" I want you to be free from the concerns of this life. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lordβs work and thinking how to please him.
But a married man has to think about his earthly responsibilities and how to please his wife.
His interests are divided. In the same way, a woman who is no longer married or has never been married can be devoted to the Lord and holy in body and in spirit. But a married woman has to think about her earthly responsibilities and how to please her husband."
1corinthians.7.32-34.NLT
