Divesting this mortal body (which will be replaced with an immortal body) is not the same as being "divested of humanity". Humanity means human nature, the sum total of qualities that make a human a human and not, say, a cat, or an amoeba, or a fir tree, or an angel, or a piece of granite. 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?
