but we all know Christ never said that

How would a sentence change its meaning depending on who authored it?
I mean the quote itself is pretty much just a paraphrasing of "the only thing that matters is winning", not exactly ideal guideline to live a compassionate life by, but it would sound just as cold and uncaring if the saintliest person on Earth said it.
