No. Kennie took the words out of context, and interpreted them
together according to his peculiar theology. Indeed, your argument
consists of piecing together three separate quotes from three separate
conversations.

You could take even smaller pieces just from Jesus's words quoted
above to have Him say "I am" "condemned already", or "He that
rejecteth me""is""the" "Son of God". Piecemeal quotation is cute, but
not an argument.

And all that assumes that Jesus existed, that the words were actually
those of Jesus, and that they are translated.

You see - someone who does not believe that the Bible is what you
claim it is doesn't fit "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my
words" because all they see are some very human words. They are not
rejecting Him or His words; they are just rejecting your form of
worshipping a book as a false idol.
