As I said, that is a gross biblical departure from the truth.Indeed the father is a spirit as is the Holy Spirit.
The second person of God in Jesus spirit also. But Jesus is flesh. When he appeared to Mary and the apostles he was flesh. When he comes in the second coming it will be as flesh.
At the resurrection our flesh will rejoin our spirit and be glorified flesh for eternity, just as the flesh of Christ is.
"Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God."
But this you believe, because you [obviously] do not understand that the resurrection of Jesus in the flesh was [only] proof of his victory over death, and not that body that ascended, which was spirit just as the Father is spirit. This is what is meant by “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” Not that the flesh should profit, but rather the spirit of God. "The flesh profits nothing."
