I would have to respectfully disagree with AP on this point. Jesus, the person, is divine. This includes his body.This reflects one of the many internally contradictory positions of Christian theology that I used to wave away with nods to it being a "mystery" or some such. Jesus is held, in most Christian theologies, to be "fully human and fully god." However, apparently while Jesus is fully god, his body isn't, because god isn't material. But Jesus' body is part of who Jesus is, so only part of Jesus is apparently fully god, rendering the meaning of "fully" somewhat vague.
