The early pioneers of the 20th century all came from Trinitarian backgrounds and tried to explain God's oneness, yet with a Trinitarian vocabulary.

I would say that being concerned with Johns intent gives forth the truth of God. When taken with the OT it brings it out quite nicely. Yes I comment on the video most scholars leap to the Philosophers instead of the OT.
As to the rest of what you are saying bring it down to my level and I will try to understand it. When I teach Oneness it is not done by teaching against Trinity. It is a straightforward presentation of the Oneness of God and deity of Yeshua.
