So even with Jesus Christ being in heaven, we still are forced to make a clear distinction between his human and divine natures. Likewise, even with him being in heaven, it would not be proper to call Jesus Christ, God, without clearly exempting his human nature from the reference.
I agree with all you said except for this line, "So, if we were to call the whole person of Jesus Christ, God, then we would also be calling the human nature of this true resurrected ascended man, God."

The man is not Deity whether the PERSON is the same person as God or not.
