From a Catholic perspective (and some Eastern Orthodox churches believe this as well), Mary, the Mother of God, was forever a virgin. She "never had any relations with a man" (Luke 1) before Christ was born, and The Bible doesn't mention her having any after the birth of Jesus.

Since the belief of Mary as a perpetual virgin is significant belief in these Churches, to say that Mary had other children would be to assume that she had sex, which would in turn challenge these beliefs.

But the most convincing argument against Jesus having siblings might simply be that the Bible doesn't mention any. If the New Testament is a documentation of the life of Jesus Christ, then why would you leave out someone as important as a sibling? That just doesn't make sense.
