“that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,”

“All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom, Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, Be to our God forever and ever. Amen.””**Revelation *7:11-12 *NKJV
“So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them, who by the mouth of Your servant David have said: ‘Why did the nations rage, And the people plot vain things? The kings of the earth took their stand, And the rulers were gathered together Against the LORD and against His Christ.’ **Acts *4:24-26 *NKJV
These are but a few verses which show your statement about power and creation is off.
All of Paul's epistles start with a statement along the line of Grace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus. Paul tells us emphatically that there is one God, the Father. Jesus tells us he is ascending to his God and our God, and his Father and our Father.
To use the term "it clearly reveals the trinity" is really to say that something that you feel is so crucial to understanding God and the scriptures was never taught nor discussed. It really says you need some other source other than the scriptures to explain God. It really says God, the scriptures, the apostles, Moses, Jesus, did not give us a clear, accurate view of God; that we need to rely on the schemes of man to know the truth.
“for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;
Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.””
**Acts *17:23-27, 30-31 *NKJV
Evangelical, seems to me you are so full of man's teachings that you miss the plain spoken word of the scriptures
