can god have a father?

Since there is no post here, I'll answer the title: No (unless you're talking about God the Son, who's father is God the Father. God the Father cannot have an ol' man.)

If you are referring to a Biological relationship then clearly not. If you are using the word father to mean something else then please define it or we cant answer the question (except by realizing that as God does not exist he could not have a father)

He can have a son but not a father. Makes sense.

God's a supernatural being. He doesn't need a father. Jesus is his son in spirit, even though God didn't have sex with Mary to concieve a baby.

That's fallacious logic. E.g.:

Q: "Did Frodo Baggins have a father?"
A: "Since Frodo Baggins never existed, he doesn't have a father".

The question is whether the concept of "God" is incompatible with the concept of "having a father".

Not as fallacious as you claim. Frodo Baggins does not have a father in the sense that no father of Frodo Baggins has ever existed.
The question "does God have a father" presumes the existence of God.
