Is Jesus Sitting on a Throne in His Flesh?

I agree. But what I meant was that Adam was immortal and lost it, so Christ came to return that to us all. He is immortal as Adam would have been had Adam not fallen. And He is seated with the Father in His throne as Adam would have been had Adam not fallen. He is head of the human race as Adam would have been had Adam not fallen.

1 Cor 15:43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46 But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. 47 The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven.

The immortality of Christ was what it means for Paul to say "The Lord from Heaven", which is the flesh we shall have in our resurrection. This is why it is said we shall be changed, since flesh as it is now cannot inherit the kingdom.
