Is Christ still human?

This is a very simple question, but I’ve never understood this.

Jesus rose from the dead in the very same body He died in. Then He ascended into Heaven with the same body.

So is He now in Heaven in that body? How does this work? Is Jesus’ fully-human and fully-Divine Soul inside the body? Is He the only Member of the Trinity who has a permanent physical form ever since around 3 AD when He was born of the Blessed Virgin Mary?

Also, on a related note, is the Blessed Virgin Mary in Heaven right now in the same body she died in?
 
Yes, the Logos is the only member of the Holy Trinity to take on a permanent physical form for all eternity, and the Logos is Jesus. How does it work? With God all things are possible. Do not let it trouble you, why would it be a problem? The resurrected Christ cannot be separated, so the body is still the same body. When we receive the Eucharist, we receive the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus. To receive the body there obviously must be a body to be received, so yes, Jesus still has a human body.

Yes, the Virgin Mary is in the same body that she went into dormition with and was assumed with.
 
On a related note: I apologize for not already being familiar with this, but I don’t recall its mention in my Catholic School education.

What were the circumstances surrounding Mary’s death? Did she live to an old age? At the time of her death, she was risen into heaven, as was her Son?

Thank you in advance!

Well no not exactly. Jesus died and rose again, but his body is a glorified body, whatever that means.

A regular human body can’t pass through walls as Jesus body did, when he appeared to the Apostles.

Inotherwords, the risen body of Christ isn’t a resuscitated body as we know of resuscitated bodies, but a glorified body. We too will rise with such a body at the end of time.

yes, Jesus is still human and has a body, but His Body is glorified 🙂 also He’s not subject to time, natural laws, etc…
