The essence of the facts

A Spiritual Body is not a spirit.
The Bible speaks of, or effectively, your born with a natural body and raised a spiritual body -> it is still talking about the same body.
-------------------
On the contrary, only spirit persons have spiritual bodies. Paul raised and then answered the question as to how the ''holy ones'' to whom he addressed his letter were to be ''raised up'', from death. -(1 Cor 1:2).

(1 Corinthians 15:35, 36) Nevertheless, someone will say: “How are the dead to be raised up? Yes, with what sort of body are they coming?”  You unreasonable person! What you sow is not made alive unless first it dies.

(1 Corinthians 15:40) And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly bodies is one sort, and that of the earthly bodies is a different sort.

While angels have appeared with ''earthly bodies'', on rare occasions they have been seen in their ''heavenly (spiritual) bodies''.

(Matthew 28:2-4) And look! a great earthquake had taken place, for Jehovah’s angel had descended from heaven and had come and rolled away the stone, and he was sitting on it.His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow.  Yes, out of their fear of him, the watchmen trembled and became as dead men.

This is similar to Jesus' appearance at his transfiguration.
(Matthew 17:2) And he was transfigured before them; his face shone as the sun, and his outer garments became brilliant as the light.

What you sow is not made alive unless first it dies.

Notice the "it", same body.

heavenly bodies and earthly bodies

The which is born of flesh is flesh and that which is born of Spirit is Spirit.
Earthly bodies, heavenly bodies, same bodies.

And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

1 Peter 1:23 - Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
John 3:3 - Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

1 Tim 6:16 - Who only hath immortality,-> dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

1 John 1:5 God is light......

God's word is Light, hence Jesus taking on and accepting the word of God,..... is the light he is dwelling in or as John 1:18 puts it, Jesus is dwelling in the Bosom of the Father, The Word.

The Bible is very clear as to why God was beholding to raise Jesus.
The Bible is also clear, the same Jesus will return as they saw him God, flesh and bone.

The flesh that the Bible says cannot go to heaven, is in the above context, the natural, corruptible.
So the fleshly, natural aspect of the person (mind) is what needs to or will die.

Yes we may say or think, how can this happen = not the point as we have to accept what the words say.
Anything else is speculation, creativity.
