Many modern Christians say principalities and powers represent the Kingdom of Hell and demonic entities. I can't recall all the sources, but in my meanderings over the years, I've heard both Rabbis and hermetic kabbalists argue that this is something we should take literally. Ancient Israel existed in a time of kingdoms and empires, principalities were areas ruled by kings and emperors, the powers were themselves and their appointments.

Does anyone have any logical disagreement?

Living life as a Christian who is a part of the LGBTQ+ community is certainly difficult, but not impossible. This was not how it has always been and to be frank, it was not easy to see my feelings for what they were until I had freedom to think.

(if you believe in christ, which i'm guessing you do if you're here)

that includes oppressed groups like lgbtq+ people. all are created equal and we should not discriminate. that's not what jesus would have wanted or would want.
