Yet, in all that you posted Paul never refers to himself as Father Paul.

That's the difference you're missing.

The thing is that there’s a world of difference between *Paul is my father* and *Father Paul*.

It’s staggering the lengths people will go to to justify disobeying Jesus clear command.

Paul calls himself the father of his converts. Whether he titled himself “Father Paul” is a distinction without a difference. Jesus never specified titles or official forms of address
