       A person can look like he’s a normal, average individual and yet be very rich. Likewise, a person can spend more than should to appear to be wealthy when in fact they are really not. The point is, though, is that we are not supposed to be judging on these external appearances, showing favor to those whom we think are rich. God sees this kind of behavior, favoring the wealthy, as sin. I remember when I was creating a church constitution for possible future use someday that I made the distinct that a certain percentage of elders were forbidden from having a college education, or at least an advanced college education, like a Masters degree. Why is that? Why would I do such a thing? Because I sure wouldn’t want a group of elders who are only highly schooled while leaving out the views of the regular people who have four-year degrees and less. I think it’s important to be conducting business off of the views of everyone, not just the highly educated.
