To: Salvation
That's a good step to base your beliefs on the Bible itself and not the doctrines of man or a church.

Now, I'm not at all familiar with Catholic doctrine, but I do know the Bible. I never heard of this false doctrine. Yes, it contradicts the Bible. Jesus had brothers and sisters. (John 7:5, Mark 3:31-32, Mat 12:47, Mat 13:55-56, Mark 6:3) There's no indication that Joseph had any other wife than Mary.

You'll also find that Mary spoke with tongues in Acts 1:14 and Acts 2:3.

And you can be sure that apostle Peter had a wife, because Jesus healed her mother in Matthew 8:14-15.

There will be those that will say "brethren" mean "kinfolk", but that's a real stretch. You may was well say that "his wife's mother" in Matthew 8:14 refers to the mother of Jesus' wife.

Huh?

Acts 1:14
They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

Acts 2:3
They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.

Strange that ZERO evidence is shown by the Book for what you just claimed.


Paul chimed in with a rhetorical question in One* Corinthians 12:30
Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?


*I just HAD to toss in a little Trump reference here!


1 Corinthians 12:8-11

 
 

 

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.



The above is tossed in for free to counter those who might be inclined to state the speaking in tongues is an indication of being baptized in the Holy Spirit.
