Malachi 2:10 says, Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us?
I ask previously will God lie, no God can not lie and will not lie. Jesus was exalted because His name (God's name) alone is exalted.
Hear O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one! In that day His name one!

To answer your question I will use the verse John 1:1 which states that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God."
In my bible the word "Word" is capitalized signifying that they are talking about God Himself. Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit are one. That is the Holy Trinity or some may say that Godhead. Everything that Jesus did on earth, He exalted and pointed to His Father. They are not separate but God put a part of His Spirit into flesh and sent Him to die for our sins so that we may join Him in everlasting life. A Father would sacrifice himself for His children and that is what God did.
Since Mary was a virgin, then the seed of her unborn child was Spiritual and belonged to God. Jesus was an extension of God on earth. But they are One.

Isaiah 9:6 - This verse is not a Trinitarian formula that calls Jesus Christ the Father. Actually, it is easier to grasp the idea when the phrase is rendered literally into English, "Father of eternity." The 1st part of verse 6 makes reference to the incarnation of Jesus. The part that lists the names by which He is called expresses His relationship to His people. He is to us the Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Father of Eternity, the Prince of Peace. Considered in this way, we see that Jesus is the One who gives eternal life. By His death, burial, and resurrection He has brought life and immortality to light. Truly, He is the Father of eternity for His people. The name "Father of eternity" indicates that, as a loving father provides for His children, so Jesus loves us and has provided for us by giving everlasting life.

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Careful readers will note that the prophecy in Isaiah says that the Messiah "will be called" by such names as Mighty God, Eternal Father.
If that were in reference to Jehovah, he would have already been known as such when the prophecy was written.
Jesus "will be called" the Eternal Father of mankind by virtue of the fact that he brings the dead back to life and grants them everlasting life. The Bible explains how our original father, Adam, brought death upon the whole race. Jesus is called the Last Adam because he replaces Adam as mankind's father. He will become our Eternal Father when he abolishes death and imparts everlasting life to Adam's offspring.

Jesus earned the title of Father when he gave up his life to buy ours. Still that is a position given him by his OWN Father, Jehovah.
