Could our understanding be that we try to equate God=Father when in fact Father is God in action. Only God= God and Father is a manifestation of one aspect of God as we see Him. The term father is a term for our minds to grasp a finite understanding of of an immeasurable God. We would not say in the same way we say God is a Spirit that God is a Father for being Spirit is the totality of what God is and Father is just one aspect of who God is. This would make God is a Son null and void unless there is truth in each statement. This is without being polytheistic or trying to make three separate persons fit into one God.
So when you say only the Father is God is that an absolute truth. Can this be a true statement the Son is God? Or the Holy Spirit is God? Now with that in mind we should not be trying to prove that Jesus is the Father rather that Jesus is God and the Father is a title of God in time. We can only know of God through His self revelations (multiple) in time and matter though he lives outside of creation yet all creation is in Him.
