So "holy" is defined as cooperation between God and the (abstract) free will of man? Besides the fact that I have never seen a definition of holy in this way, how can a personal God cooperate with an abstract principle?

Here's Merriams:

1 : exalted or worthy of complete devotion as one perfect in goodness and righteousness
3 : devoted entirely to the deity or the work of the deity
4 a : having a divine quality b : venerated as or as if sacred

5 —used as an intensive ; often used in combination as a mild oath

So I guess my speculation finds cooperation Webster's understanding. Apparently the pious rebuke should be rescinded.

And I'm not surprised you don't understand.
