Muslim arguments: "Jesus never said He was GOD or worship me"


"Jesus never said He was GOD or worship Me"
Muslim's don't believe that Jesus (Called Isa in Islam) was GOD.
and so they must believe that Jesus never claimed to be GOD, if He did, how could He truly be Allah's prophet at less He was telling The truth. Contrary to the sadly popular belief Jesus made it clear that He was GOD and He allowed people to worship Him.

"Jesus never said He was GOD"
Although I cannot provide with an exact quotation of those words, He did make it clear He was GOD:

"I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am, you will indeed die in your sins."-John 8:24
"Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am."-John 8:58


"Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in The Name of The Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”-Matthew 28:18-20. (A mere prophet doesn't have authority over Heaven and Earth, but GOD does.)
This truth was also supported by all of Jesus' followers, for example Paul (Acts 20:28,1st Corinthians 12:18,Romans 6:9-10) Peter (Acts 4:10-12) and John (John 1:1, John 1:10). Although the Muslim view is that these are false followers, however I have not yet to seen any evidence of the "True followers of Jesus" who Muslim claimed existed. 


"Jesus never said worship Me" 
Although I cannot present a quotation when Jesus said worship Me, I can provide many examples of people worshiping Jesus, in none of these passages does Jesus stop them.So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell His disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” He said. They came to Him, clasped His feet and worshiped Him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”-Matthew 28:8-10. "Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted."- Matthew 28:16-17.
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found Him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.” Jesus said, “You have now seen Him; in fact, He is the one speaking with you.” Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped Him."-John 9:35-38.
"Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly you are The Son of God.”-Matthew 14:31-33.
