Add to that, a vow of celibacy and a vow of poverty being in direct conflict with “be fruitful and multiply”.

“Add to that, a vow of celibacy and a vow of poverty being in direct conflict with “be fruitful and multiply”.”

Celibacy of the clergy in no way stopped Catholics from becoming one seventh of the world’s population. Birth Control is a problem. Celibacy is not. A vow of poverty in no way conflicts with “be fruitful and multiply”. Plenty of poor people are fruitful and multiply. Do you believe Christ and Paul’s celibacy conflicted with “be fruitful and multiply”?

So Jesus, who was not married and had no children, was disobedient to God’s command to “be fruitful and multiply.” So Jesus was a sinner.
