The body that Christ took on from the lineage of Adam, via Mary, never had a chance against the power of God. Death is swallowed up in victory. He "became sin for us" but "knew no sin" but instead baptized His body in death, took up His life again, and secured resurrection for all who believe--we will have "a body like His."

The Holy Spirit is the shared substance of the two wills among the Father and Son. The Holy Spirit is the perfect unity of the wills, or the agreement that is in the perfection of "no variableness or shadow of turning." The will of the Father is to receive the obedience of the Son, i.e. for the Son to do the will of the Father. The will of the Son is to render obedience to the Father, i.e. to do the will of the Father.
To suggest that there would be anything other than perfect agreement among the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit would be to project onto them our own inclinations to sin and death, saying, "not ALL your will be done--some of my will, in opposition to yours, must be done."
