To answer the question of "isn't Jesus the Everlasting Father, as Isaiah 9:6 says?" I will show you some of the most ancient manuscripts, and their exact translations. You can decide for yourself if this verse is saying that Jesus is the "everlasting father."
My analysis shows that Jesus is instead called the "great counseling angel (or messenger)", the "father of the coming age" (which would be the age of the Messiah - Christ is obviously the father of it), and that He would "bring peace upon the rulers."
