^^ both wouldnt make sense to those listening if they (God n Jesus) were one.

instead Jesus said 'My Father and I are so close-knit that no one can take away the sheep from me, just as no one can take them away from my Father' (based from 29). Similar to you saying to ya pop's enemy "if you attack my dad you attack me". Jesus and his Father are also “one” in the sense that they are in complete agreement as to intentions, values, standards..

therefore, that scripture only shows the strong bond of unity between them.
