Your interpretation of "one" is wrong:

Check here: http://biblos.com/john/10-30.htm

This is particularly pertinent for this group:

http://biblos.com/john/10-33.htm

But this is the final straw:

New Living Translation (©2007) But if I do his work, believe in the evidence of the miraculous works I have done, even if you don't believe me. Then you will know and understand that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father."

Study the Greek here: http://biblos.com/john/10-38.htm

The Greek word ἐν translated above as "in" makes more sense as "with" see here: http://strongsnumbers.com/greek/1722.htm

It makes more sense in the context that Jesus is using this way:

But if I do his work, believe in the evidence of the miraculous works I have done, even if you don't believe me. Then you will know and understand that the Father is [with] me, and I am [with] the Father."

Jesus clearly distinguishes between himself and his father and so should we...unless you absolutely must believe in the Trinity.

Then just ignore it and go on with life.

You keep trying to redirect the focus to the Trinity. The issue is ONEness, Jesus IS God with us by the power and personal work of God’s Holy Spirit. Take your ‘last straw’ and use it on your silly strawman misdirection. READ the Bible with a seeking heart and God’s Holy Spirit conveys His meaning without the smoke and mirrors you’re trying so desperately to generate.
