Adam Clarke commentary:

let's not focus on the whole notion of castration..
i would like to focus on the 3rd section of Clarke's commmentary, "He that is able to receive".
i am wondering if there is a way through Scripture that we can tell if there is a difference between being given this gift of God while still being virgin, and of course after having experienced sexual intercourse. is it even possible?
is it possible to come to terms with this even after having children?
can this dedication to celibacy in order to better focus on the kingdom of God simply be received if one wants it? or is one chosen by God for such angelic devotion?
thoughts?
love to you all and God bless.
