Are you your Father? NO he is in you. Can you be one in purpose? Yes.
I and the Father are one (in purpose)
The devil did a number with that doctrine.
Jesus Christ said the work that I do ye shall do also and greater works than these shall ye do because I go unto myself? No
Because he went to the Father. So we can fo greater works than God who empowers us? Would not make sense.
There are three for sure, but they are not one and the same.
"In purpose" is your interpretation and addition. It is not in the text. Isaiah 9:6 says, "A child is born to us (the humanity of Jesus from Mary), a Son is given to us (the divinity of Jesus from the Father through the Spirit), and His name will be called...Eternal Father...The way this works is the tri-unity of God in the Spirit.
I did not say that the 3 are "one and the same." The 3 are distinct, but not separate. If They were physical, They could not be one. We would have to reason, as you said, that it must mean They are one in purpose. However, God is Spirit. All 3 are Spirit. It's like the oil that the ingredients of the compound ointment are compounded into to make one compounded ointment (Ex. 30). That is how God can be simultaneously 3 and 1, and we don't have to reason away that Jesus said, "I and the Father are one."
