The worship of a man as God is idolatrous.

Exactly correct! And yet, when Satan had tempted Jesus, He responded by saying: "You shall not tempt the Lord your God." Jesus Himself claims to be Lord and God.

First, I don't accept the gospels as canonical, so I do not accept everything that it says as "gospel truth". Second, just because someone claims to be Lord and God does not make him so.

If a prophet arises among you, or a dreamer of dreams, and gives you a sign or a wonder,
and the sign or wonder which he tells you comes to pass, and if he says, `Let us go after other gods,' which you have not known, `and let us serve them,'
you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your God is testing you, to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear him, and keep his commandments and obey his voice, and you shall serve him and cleave to him. (Deuteronomy 13:1-4)
