“Steeze is an English word in the dictionary which speaks of a person’s distinctive and impressive way of doing things or style also one who has composure.
“God’s distinctive and impressive way, style and composure blows my mind. Scriptures says, He is a consuming fire Heb. 12:29 another says He is wrapped in light meaning He wears light psalms 104:2 another says the cloud is His vehicle psalm 104:3, His eyes are like fire Rev.19:12, 1:14 and His voice like thunder, like the sound of many waters. Another says in His presence mountains skip like ram psalm 114:1-8."

"That isn't His Name... You can call Him God with steeze, and there wouldn't be any issues. But, give révérence to that name Jehovah - it is sacred."
Smith_pharez:
"Ma, Steez originates in Black and hip-hop slang from the 1980s. So, it was borrowed from carnal world into English dictionary, so when you say revelation & understanding was when you speak from. Make me understand, is it Holy Spirit that gave you this revelatory with EL?"

"Dearly beloved, if you called God that phrase before the slang started trending, then that may be fine. But if you coined that name only after the internet slang found expression in the mouth of the world, then you might want to trash it."
evergreenesther:
"Words just don't trend, they trend for a purpose. It doesn't matter if you cam find them in the dictionary adjectival-ly or adverbial-ly. Once they start trending on the lips of ungodly people, then you don't want to use it."

"El-Steeze" has no biblical origin ,don't force trends into the bible. Let's respect God. Celebrate you mam."
We can't name God - Spiricoco
According to Spiricoco, a Christian influencer on X, stressed that there is a difference between naming God and describing him.
"Not the right thing to do. There are canonical names God gave Himself by Himself. We can use names to describe God in worship like Alagbara, but we can’t name Him. That is up to Him," he said.
