Mark 1:2 quotes Malachi 3:1. Mark 1:3 quotes Isaiah 40:3. Both passages concern preparing the way for the LORD. In Isaiah, that LORD is YHWH. Mark applies the prophecy to John preparing the way for Jesus.
You might want to read past verse 2 before accusing someone of lying.
Jesus didn’t respond, “Others have said that about Me.” He answered, “I Am,” and then identified Himself with the heavenly Son of Man in Daniel 7 and the figure seated at God’s right hand in Psalm 110. These men knew the Hebrew Scriptures and understood perfectly what He was claiming. The high priest responded by tearing his clothes and declaring Jesus guilty of blasphemy.
Come on. Jesus knew exactly who He was speaking to. These were men who knew the Hebrew Scriptures. You cannot separate His words “I am” from what He said immediately afterward. He deliberately pointed them to Psalm 110 and Daniel 7. He knew the significance of those claims, and so did the high priest. That’s why he tore his clothes and accused Jesus of blasphemy! You’re also confusing a distinction of persons with a distinction of divine nature. Jesus is not the Father, but He shares the same divine nature.

This has been probably the darkest 24 hours I’ve ever experienced on social media in my life. The things being said about Samuel, his wife, and his small children are unthinkably evil. There is a segment of the so-called “Christian” nationalist crowd that has given itself completely over to Satan. I’ve never had more resolve to defeat these subversive demons invading the Right and invading Christianity.

Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruits” - Matthew 7:16
Calling yourself a Christian doesn’t make you one.
These men were experts in the Hebrew Scriptures. They understood the significance of what Jesus was claiming, but they rejected Him. You’re assuming that because they rejected His claim, they must have misunderstood it. That’s not logical. Jesus didn’t correct them by saying He was merely united with the Father in purpose. Instead, He doubled down on His claim, and they tried to seize Him again (John 10:39). If you don’t understand the Hebrew Scriptures, you won’t fully grasp the gravity of what Jesus was claiming about Himself. That is where so many people go wrong when interpreting His words. They miss the significance of His claims because they do not recognize what He’s revealing about Himself in light of the Old Testament.
What you won’t find in Scripture is what YOU believe….that Jesus is a created being, a lesser god in the same sense that mere men are called gods in Psalm 82 That view is completely foreign to the Bible.
Jesus was not saying He was just a man like those judges. He was showing them why their accusation of blasphemy against Him was wrong. He had already declared, “I and My Father are one” in John 10:30 and He wasn’t taking that back. He doubled down on His claim! Read it carefully. That is precisely why they tried to seize Him again in verse 39.
