Pater Patriae was an honorific title in ancient Rome. In Latin, it means “father of the country”, or more literally, “father of the fatherland”. The title was granted by the Roman Senate. During the Roman Republic, it was given only two times: to Camillus and Cicero. Wikipedia

The biblical Jesus picked up themes from Cicero

These are just coincidence.

Jesus said God the Father because God is the greatest patriarch. The Jews fight over their family lineage, only levites can be priests, what tribe are you from?

That is not a counterargument worthy of persuading anyone.

It says right there in Luke 3:38 that Adam was the Son of God.
