If Jesus had fleshly brothers and sisters than Mary could have not logically been a virgin her whole life:
Matthew 13:54-56 "He came to His hometown and began teaching them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers? "Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? "And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"
Jesus instructed it was His father (God) alone who was to be worshipped:
Matthew 4:8-10 "Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; and he said to Him, "All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me." Then Jesus said to him, "Go, Satan! For it is written, 'YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY."
Jesus instructed that prayers by directed to the Father (God):
Matthew 6:9 "Pray, then, in this way: 'Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name."
Paul also instructed Christians to not worship idols (the practice is called idolatry):
1 Corinthians 10:14 "Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry."
