refraining from doing something isn't the same as being incapable of doing something 
but when we talk about for example omniscience, that's not a quantitative capability or action; it's a qualitative attribute.

we may be trying to oversimplify something that's beyond our comprehension; He also is the Spirit, and He also is the Father - the equivalence never ceases even while the distinction is always present too.
with reference to Galatians 2:20, it is not the same for Christ. we say we no longer live, but Christ in us, because we have sinful natures that must be redeemed, through His death and resurrection. But Christ has no sinful nature to be put to death; He doesn't have a will that must be crucified. His nature and will is the nature and will of God, perfect. He cannot be tempted with sin: He was tested in every way and found pure.

Right. He also commanded everything and anything and anyone He wanted. He Himself was also in complete and total control of every vicissitude and nuance of His tabernacling. He resurrected Himself. Absolutely clear beyond a shadow of a doubt.
All of those passages indicate the Oneness of God in will, essence and purpose.
His will and the will of the Father are One. Always was always will be.
Twisting them to drain Jesus of His Godhood is madness.
Yes, He came as a servant. Yes He humbled Himself. Yes he came to serve. Yes He will be a servant FOREVER as high priest.
But He is also King. With total authority. Which He exercised literally uncountable thousands of times in many ways.
Mat 20:28
“just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Mar 10:45
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
This thread is full to the brim of absurd notions that do NOT fit the overall Biblical view of the incarnation.
If anyone does not understand what the Dramatic Theodicy is.....find out. Because anything the Trinity does in full view is for OUR learning as a display of Their heart toward Their creation.

Furthermore, it takes TWO FATHERS to negotiate the bride price. The Father of the bride and the Father of the Groom.
Isa 9:6
For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
