This long passage may be sufficient to answer the question.
1 Corinthians 15:35-54 (NIV)
But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of
body will they come?” How foolish! What you sow does not come to
life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that
will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something ...

I would like to add a few other Biblical reasons Protestants in general will allow for married Pastors.
Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. -Mark 1:30.
Simon Peter having a mother-in-law necessarily meant that he had a wife. If one of Jesus's own apostles had a wife, then right there is pretty good ...

Wikipedia talks about the codification in the 11th century, but even the early 4th century Council of Elvira passed a law against conjugal relations, with the penalty ...

The difference between Protestants and Protestantism isn't the same as the difference between an optician and an optometrist or the difference between a Pontiac and a Buick.
It's not a level of the same sort of thing with different priorities or anything.
It's the difference between Catholics and Catholicism or Communists and Communism or sadists and ...

At its most basic level, Protestants believe Mary merely to be the earthly mother of Jesus - not the eternal mother of "God." To imply that she had a role in creating that which is divine with Him seems an overreach. This is not to say that Jesus is not God, but Mary's role is as a vehicle for the incarnation, not the means by which the Godhood was made. ...

Why Protestants see themselves as being able to break out of the cycle of sin through their personal affirmation that Jesus is their Personal Savior is more or less a mystery to Catholics.
Why Catholics think the mere act of eating what appears to be a piece of Bread can renew their life within them and give them a share in Sanctifying Grace is a more or ...
