Exactly. Jesus said, 'that they may be one as we are one'. I don't know any Christian who argues that all Christians are a single being or that there is a single being that consists of all Christians. His prayer is that Christians would be one as He and the Father are one. I don't think Jesus thought that all Christians would morph into a single being. He's praying for unity. So, if He didn't intend for all Christians to be one single being then He's not saying that He and the Father are one single being, thus He's not saying there is a being called God that consist of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
People come with an entrenched position and make the scriptures fit that position. It is not so hard to do. A variety of religions will quote the bible when it suits them to promote their views. Any Scripture that contradicts their views must be turned around to mean something other than it plainly states. For the scholarly, that is not hard to doExactly.

It's crystal clear, yet people simply ignore it in favor of some 5th century doctrine that 5th century church leaders told them they have to believe to be saved. They break down the comparison that Jesus made. They say Christians are one in unity, but God is one in number. That's not what Jesus said. He wanted both groups to be one in the same manner. I just don't see how people ignore this.
