Is Jesus our only Father?

Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit mentions Abraham is our father. And Paul says he is our father in Jesus Christ in 1 Cor 4:14. So I assume Jesus was saying we only have one Father (supreme Father that is creator of all, aka God) in Matthew 23:8-10. Because Stephen and Paul, inspired by God, were'nt lying I am sure.

Update:

jesus also in matt 23 says to call no man teacher or master. and again, Paul is our father too, as well as others as the bible states. why focus on 1 passage of God's word, and not all as jesus says to do?

    Jesus is not the Father...He is the Son -- the Second Person of the Most Blessed Trinity. Abraham is a father in faith -- a spiritual father. God is our only Father.

    We all have one biological father, and many more who can symbolically be referred to as a father. But God is our only true Father in that he is the only one that really gave us life, even our biological fathers were given their ability to procreate by God.

    OUR FATHER LIKE HOW IS HE OUR FATHER ????!!!!!!

    67. Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to Allah.s (Which is Islam), and he joined not gods with Allah.

    68. Without doubt, among men, the nearest of kin to Abraham, are those who follow him, as are also this Messenger and those who believe: And Allah is the Protector of those who have faith.

    69. It is the wish of a section of the People of the Book to lead you astray. But they shall lead astray (Not you), but themselves, and they do not perceive!

    70. Ye People of the Book! Why reject ye the Signs of Allah, of which ye are (Yourselves) witnesses?

    71. Ye People of the Book! Why do ye clothe Truth with falsehood, and conceal the Truth, while ye have knowledge?

    AND

    76. He knows what is before them and what is behind them: and to Allah go back all questions (for decision).

    77. O ye who believe! bow down, prostrate yourselves, and adore your Lord; and do good; that ye may prosper.

    78. And strive in His cause as ye ought to strive, (with sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has imposed no difficulties on you in religion; it is the cult of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named you Muslims, both before and in this (Revelation); that the Messenger may be a witness for you, and ye be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, give regular Charity, and hold fast to Allah. He is your Protector - the Best to protect and the Best to help!
