When Pannenberg met Anticlimacus – a dialogue taken place in the future

Creation or Kingdom serves for the context of the imago Dei and of ’Menschenbild’? Can we perceive creation as a whole in which symbol and reality are conjoined, or we should propose rather that symbol and the Kingdom of God are conjoined? Can we understand not the real, but the Kingdom as an entity which actualizes itself through the symbolic? Isn’t true that imitatio Christi is not about imitating Christ, but following Christ in his own ’body-context’? There is no "imitatio Christi", but I say this not to the sorrow of Thomas Kempis, but to the sorrow of you who you are as I and Thou, as a compound Self in the context of the Body of Christ. Because if in the I-you relationship Jesus is Thou and I am I, then Jesus is inimitable. He took a body, as his proper ’context’ and yet did not became ’an object’. How we are offered different contexts for both the imitatio Christi and imago Dei in Christ’s sacramental body as mystical versus his ecclesial body as true?
