Message from ariputra:
I meant that a person, for example, a wife, should not place herself above God, but should place her husband above God (of course, her husband is not absolutely above God), meaning that she should treat her husband as if he were God; this is beneficial for her. The most interesting thing is that God is pleased with such an attitude of a wife towards her husband; such a woman receives everything.
A wife should not place her husband above God; there is no benefit in treating a man as God; this is a natural statement of God, which is actually "disadvantageous" for the man, and it places much greater responsibility on the husband in the family, because the husband is God, and the wife is the Church. The wife should honor her husband as the Church honors God, and the husband should treat his wife as God treats the Church.
I meant that we do not control our physical body ourselves (we do control it, but indirectly, that is, we control our body through desires), but it is directly controlled by the Paramatma - the localized aspect of God, God in the heart of every living being. We desire, but the Paramatma controls our body, that is, it does what we want (but in accordance with our karma).

Choice is a consequence of our desires; we desire and choose ourselves, but our desires depend on many factors, from communication, from upbringing, from activities in previous lives, and much more.
We control our body indirectly only because external factors of the "invisible" (good and evil) affect the body. The emergence of desires is not the cause of action. He who follows his heart will die; he who lives in wisdom will be saved. This says that not all desires should be obeyed; they need to be rationally distinguished in comparison with evil and good deeds. But we act exclusively by ourselves.
The concepts of Paramatma and karma do not exist in Christianity, at least I haven't heard of them; I can't say anything or express an opinion about this.
