If Paul claims he is one of our fathers as he taught us of the gospel, do you think it is too far a stretch for Jesus also to be called Father.

Paul stated that Abraham was the Father of asll those who had not been circumcised but believed in order that righteousness might be credited to them. So I suppose Abraham could be called an everlasting Father.
I in no way diminish that Christ is the eternal Son of God and that the very nature of the Father is on Christ. But we do need to be careful when reading scripture and jumping to conclusions
