glorified human nature?
 
Does Jesus still retain His humanity, I dont mean flesh, but his human nature, in His glorified state?

Glorified Human Nature of Jesus?

Without quoting a specific scriptural passage in support, I would be inclined to answer in the affirmative. I do so because it is to this particular role, or manifestation of God, that we submit our petitions in prayer, for we are told that "the man, Christ Jesus," was tempted in all points, even as we are, and therefore it is because of this that He is able to exercise compassion and empathy for us when we do err (as we are each capable of doing from time to time, hopefully in every instance, unwittingly).

Yes otherwise he wouldn't have resurrected from the dead as a man but as a spirit! Jesus tells his disciples to handle him; for 'a spirit does not have flesh and blood as you see me have.' (Luke 24:39). He therefore retains a full humanity, but will choose to subordinate himself to the Father for all eternity (1st Corinthians 15:28). Interestingly, although he saves us form our sins, it appears that at the moment only our souls (spirits) are saved by Christ, for we still await the redemption of our own bodies at a later date i.e. at Christ's return (Romans 8:23).

Well, if you don't mean His flesh, I do. Jesus retains His human body AND His human nature. It is the body that is in a "glorified state" since his human nature was sinless to begin with.

So we would also have our human nature after resurrection?

Yes, but it won't be a sinful nature.

Jesus is not what one would call FULLY human. Humans have blood in their body. Jesus is an ADVANCED FORM of humanity. Like unto Angels.

No, Jesus is FULLY human - in addition to being FULLY God. He is not some half-God-half-human hybrid.

When you say Jesus if fully human and fully God, what exactly do you mean by that? Are you talking about "the person of the Son" or are you talking about the man, Jesus Christ, who the disciples walked and talked with?
