Question about Jesus

Would Jesus still be revered and worshipped as he is today if Mary hadn’t been a virgin and he wasn't conceived through immaculate conception?

No..

Because being born of a virgin was one of the prophecies of the Messiah.. He is worshiped because He is the Messiah.. Not because He was born of a virgin,,,

Don't know where you came up with this one because today is the first time I've ever heard that little story before.

@swirlie It's in the Bible..

Here OT::

(Isaiah 7:14) "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."

Here in the Gospel of Matthew::

(Matthew 1:22-25) "Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, {23} Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. {24} Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: {25} And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS."
