Speaker: Emilio Ramos

Emilio Ramos explores personal identity and the image of God in a rapidly growing tech-culture. “What are your pronouns?” “How do you identify?” These current cultural questions are a restatement of one of the oldest questions of the human race: “Who am I?” Today’s answers carry a beguiling temptation to define ourselves by looking within, whereas the older version implies that we should look outside ourselves, asking our Creator to tell us what we need to know. Whether in the Church or the White House, at home or in our nation’s schools, many in our culture, including Christians, are facing an identity crisis. If we fall prey to the deceptive influences that tear us away from our ties to our Maker, Creator and Savior, we are left impoverished, empty, and in despair. We fall into a Oneist confusion where all things are one and the same, and there are no real distinctions. TruthXchange is excited to present our latest symposium, “Stolen Identity: The Theft of the Binary in Contemporary Society,” which reminds Christians that the only place we can safely ground our identity is in God, in the binary truth of Twoism, where God and the creation are distinct and where distinction is a good thing for our identity. With this truth can we stand against those who wish to manipulate us for their own purposes. Secure in our identity in Christ, as redeemed creatures, which can never be stolen, we will know how to honor and serve our fellow human beings, to participate positively in our society, and to show God’s immense love to those who are disintegrating in their search for what turns out to be a fraudulent notion of the self.
