It seems to me that you confuse and insist upon confusing a three god entity with the Trinity. That is not the meaning of the Trinity.

There is only one God.

He is revealed as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each one of those persons performs very different functions and ministries as He reveals Himself to us in order that we might take on the mind of Christ.

**God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.**

As someone as already pointed out, those phrases are not found in the Bible.

Why would the Son of God have to ask the Father to send twelve legions of angels if he, as the Son, has his own separate, yet equal power to the Father?

Simple. As the Son of God, any miraculous happening was the Father(Spirit; John 4:23,24) in him doing the works, telling him what to say and do when the matter was spiritual.

The man Christ Jesus said, "I, of myself can do nothing", or "I thirst". That wasn't God talking in those instances.

Jesus Christ(fleshly man with a soul) knew AND felt the presense of the Father(Spirit) in him right up to the cross. Then the Father(Spirit) left, and Jesus cried, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" At that moment, the Christ knew that the Father had departed from him. How strange that must have felt. Then the moment of death. Diety can NOT die. The Son died. Jesus had said he had power IN himself to lay his life down and take it back up. That power was the Father in him.

"Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell..". Acts 2:27
"Him hath God raised up.." Acts 10:40

The Christ is the focal point, the heir of all things. He who has had all things from the beginning, is not an heir but the original owner.

All power has been GIVEN Jesus Christ by the Father(Spirit) in him.

"God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself".

It's the revelation of Jesus Christ. Who he REALLY is!
"..The blessed and ONLY Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 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." 1Tim. 6:15,16
