Humans do not cease being humans at the resurrection, they simply cease being mortal. Mortality is not a necessary part of the definition of " human" anymore than "poor" or "dumb" is. Mortality is a condition humans find themselves in at present, but that will be changed (for the redeemed, anyway).
Christ put off this tabernacle of dust, but still remained human.
My bible said Christ is unchanged forever. What does your bible say?

Amen. Christ is still HUMAN but glorified and immortal. He is what Adam was meant to be forever. Hence, He is last man Adam. The firstborn of a new creation race of immortal humans.
All we are aware of is mortal fallen humanity. But THE MAN Christ Jesus is still the MAN and is still intercessor and High Priest! THE MAN! Anthropos. Human being.
