You presented exaggerated unreasonable, scenarios Salty.
What your hearing problem and your Columbian daughter-in-law have to do with ethnicity and culture? Or the color of the skin in Christian union?
Yes, of course the color of the skin make difference for the people who are not Christians, who are secular, and who see it as a sign of physical and intellectual difference, but in Christ it does not matter. Our difference literally "skin deep," and all our bones have the same color.
God sent Philip to Ethiopian eunuch to turn him to Gospel (
Acts 8.26-40). Does GOD did it because he is black or for another reason? Notice that the difference in culture between Jews and Ethiopians are very different.
Or why GOD sent Peter to Cornelius? (
Acts 10.1-8.17-18.22.24-27.44-48). What the Romans and Jews have common in their culture?
But again, for GOD (for Christ) there is no difference, because they are all His creations, and all are subject for His punishment or His salvation in which GOD has no concern for ethnicity and culture.
If for the Christ all people are the same, and so all the people in Christ also the same, no difference in ethnicity and culture, because in Christ such things do not exist, but only one ethnicity and one culture exist, that of Christ.
Your process of thought on the issue is very earthly, without spiritual context.

Actually I am very surprise that your wrote this statement.
*
medical doctors. Yes, in some instances we do not need medical doctors.
Mark 5.25-26
25.And a woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years,
26.
and had endured much at the hands of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was not helped at all, but rather had grown worse,
I am sure she is not the only one who was CURED
(not treated) by the Christ.
**
financial counselors. " The Lord GOD is best financial Counselor.
Deuteronomy 8.18
"18.But remember the Lord your
GOD,
it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, so that He may confirm His
Covenant that He
swore to your ancestors, as He is doing today."
Ecclesiastes 5.19
19."Likewise all to whom
GOD gives wealth and possessions and whom He enables to enjoy them and to accept their lot, and find enjoyment in their toil, this is the gift of
GOD."

we dont need Christian school. If Christian schools teach that you just wrote, surely we do not need them. What would be the benefit for humanity to drop faith and reliance on GOD and have confidence in men?
Jeremiah 17.5.7
5.Thus says the Lord, "
Cursed are those who trust in mere mortals and make mere flesh their strength, whose hearts turn away from the Lord."
7.
Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, whose trust in the Lord.
Concerning Earthly Needs and Chores.
Matthew 6.25-34
25."For this I say to you, do not be anxious for your life as to
what you shall eat,
or what you shall drink,
nor for your body as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body than clothing?
26.Look at the birds of the air, that they do not saw, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet
your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?
27.And which of you by being anxious can add a single cubit to his life's span?
(in the same way this verse has been translated in: NRSV and GNB Bibles, but in Gideons and Russian Bibles it translated in this way: "Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?")
28.And why are you anxious about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow, they do not toil, nor do they spin,
29.yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory did not clothe himself like one of these.
30.But if GOD so arrays the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace,
will He not much more do so for you, O men of little faith?
31.Do not be anxious then saying,
'What shall we eat?' or
'What shall we drink?' or '
With what shall we clothe ourselves?'
32.For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek.
Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33.
But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. (2Chronicles 25.9) (Matthew 6.33, 19.29) (Mark 10.28-30) (Luke 18.28-30).
34.Therefore, do not be anxious for tomorrow, tomorrow will care for itself, each day has enough trouble of its own."
