Well, = then you're using a different sense of the word "divine" than= jbovlaste is, because the sense of "divine" in the English defin= ition of {cevni} is "(of or pertaining to a god): deific, godlike, god= ly", whereas you seem to be meaning "(eternal, holy): hallowed, h= oly, sacred".

<= /div>{cevni} can refer to many different things, but not angels. Gods, godd= esses, demi-god(esse)s, oni, and so on and so forth.

But not angels.= Angels are not gods, they aren't even god-like. Except for maybe the a= rchangels, they're barely above humans, and in many ways are lower on t= he totem pole (like the complete lack of free will, emotion, or creativity,= for example).
