Oneness question

Hi everyone! The higher-fire vacation was enjoyable, but I am very glad that
it's over. I actually had to find other forms of procrastination! (I can
get very creative. Ever ironed clothes at 3 in the morning? Don't try it
anytime soon if you're even the least bit accident-prone. :) )
Okay, I'll get to the point. Question:
Read John 8:14-18, paying special attention to verse 18. "I am one that bear
witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me." Jesus
reminds his audience of the Jewish law which states that it two or more
witnesses must testify in order for something to be taken as fact.
If Jesus and the Father fulfill Jewish law by providing two witnesses, what
happened to the oneness of God? (This isn't a trick question. I don't know
how to explain this verse, so I'm open to any interpretation you might have.)
Thanks,
Lisa :)
