The word religion is derived from Latin "religio" (what attaches or retains, moral bond, anxiety of self-consciousness, scruple) used by the Romans, before Jesus Christ, to indicate the worship of the demons.
The origin of "religio" is debated since antiquity. Cicero said it comes from "relegere" (to read again, to re-examine carefully, to gather) in the meaning "to carefully consider the things related to the worship of gods".Later, Lucretius, Lactancius and Tertullianus see its origin in "religare" (to connect) to refer "the bond of piety that binds to God".
Initially used for Christianity, the use of the word religion gradually extended to all the forms of social demonstration in connection with sacred

You can debate the meaning of "holy" all you want, it still won't make "the angels who sinned" go away.

Which says enough about the subject of whether or not angels can sin or not. Or whether someone who is called "holy" (like the angels who didn't sin) can sin or not.

Besides, if they can't sin in the first place, there's nothing special about those angels choosing not to sin and staying loyal to Jehovah, unlike "the angels who sinned" (2 Pe 4:2).

Britney Spears is the kind of person that bullied me on high school and was afraid of me lmao, you don't get it at all, you seem to follow spiritual life and then you look up to this other girl who is a waste lmfao
It doesn't even work as an insult to me because you don't even have a clue about my life, you talk about how you see life from your point of view and i have seen better and harder life, you are just dummy girl sorry but true.
Keep looking for a husband to take care of things. Weddings and husband and your mom pushing to marry and idiots in line to take you for a cook and a lover. So sad.

have you ever watched a movie and thought the main character is so centered and so much like you in an interesting and charming way and then wondered while you are walking on the street who exactly may be that thing that watches you and thinks you are so centered and so much like itself?

sometimes you need to hide one thing to reveal two things.
