jesus m. "you are definitely lying"??? Strong words. I may be wrong, but not lying. I also think I am correct in that Jesus did say this.

Well sickness, can be mental or physical, which are you inferring. Surely all Christians are not sick... and those that are do get comfort from their beliefs...

Christians believe that they are "sick" in the sense that they are sinners. Jesus came "to seek and save the lost." We Christians believe that "...all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God." It is only through the death (which we celebrate today...Good Friday) and resurrection of Jesus Christ that we are "healed" from "sin."
We don't believe that non-believers think themselves "sick."
We believe that the Word of God is divided into two things: Law and Gospel. The Law convicts us. It shows us that we're "sick" and then the Gospel is the good news of Christ's atonement and our redemption. Without the law and the Holy Spirit, we don't believe it's possible for anyone to know that they're "sick."
Good question. Thanks.

Some do because they are still searching, it's hard to point out a spiritual sickness in someone because of what the churches teach that differ from what the bible says,Many have put their trust in men and not in God.

You are definitely lying. Jesus did not say only the sick need a physician.
He cured the sick who have faith in him and considered it as his mystery and to believe him that He has power to cure or heal.

Your grammar sucks, making your question difficult to understand.
Are you asking if Christians know that they themselves are sick, or if Christians know their sick, as in knows what a sick person looks like?
Not sure what 'believe on Christ' means...
Give it up!

I don't know about that, but you used the possessive "their" when you should have used the contraction for they are - "they're" - it's really a shame that Americans can't spell their own language. I wonder what Jesus would say about those who criticize others but can't spell.

you need to acknowledge spiritual need in order to get cleansed and forgiven
Blessed are the poor
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness

Exactly. you have understood perfectly.
That's why those who claim to be Christians and go around acting self-righteous are being very self-contradictory.
