Jesus did act "in the flesh" but not "according to the flesh."
Rather, he acted "according to the Spirit."
I emphasize this to caution against dualistic thinking that dissassociates body and spirit in a way that completely discounts bodily actions. Humans are free to act otherwise than according what bodily functions (flesh) demand. The body is not bad, but one's life encompasses more than just one's body; thus life decisions must consider more than just one's body as well. Of course, one's decisions must be wise in carelfully considering the wellness of one's body, or else one's life will not be very well sustained.
