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

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