Please stop comparing an omnipotent God to a non-omnipotent father.
It's soooo simple. God has the power to control his creation, a non-omnipotent non-omniscient father may not.
For a child his father can be omnipotent as God is regarded omnipotent to us humans.
A father wouldn't give the keys of his car to his child.
One day when the child become adult however he will.
The same apply to our relation with God.
One day when human beings will reach a mental-spiritual parallelism with God then the keys (so to speak) to human emancipation will be given to them.
The comparison stand perfectly.
As you would teach your kids how to live in a way that you know better also God teach his children how to live through the karma law.
So there are degrees of omnipotence? Either you are or are not. Quit making up definitions.
