It is always better to read the Bible than to read into the Bible.
My experience has been that something is called eisegesis when the accuser disagrees and exegesis when the supporter agrees.
There is nothing in the Bible to suggest that Mary and Joseph did not eventually consummate their marriage.
There is nothing to my knowledge that requires Mary to have given birth to other children.
The Marian doctrines were developed much later and have little basis in scripture.
- So?
- A better statement would be that written evidence for Marian Doctrines comes much later. The doctrine of Sola Scriptura is heresy in Catholic Christianity and Orthodox Christianity.

(Mary is understood by the heart, not study of scripture.)

There is nothing in the Bible to my knowledge in the Bible that states that Mary was always a virgin.
