Александр,
Taking away omnipotence from God does not deprive Him of His greatness. Creator has enormous tasks to fulfill, there are things only He can do. Thus, He doesn't have the time to play the role of everyone's wish granter. He's the lynchpin that holds everything together. He cannot be everywhere at once, nor can He answer all prayers directed to him (even if he could, he would not, most people's prayers are selfish). Thus he delegates some tasks to His angels, daemons, to protectors of the nation and to the guardian angels of each individual.
Andreev wrote, «As if acknowledgment of the existence of hierarchies of nature, of the great elementals, or of national guiding spirits could undermine the oneness of God.»
As a rule, the higher beings always have someone greater than themselves they answer to and have accountability towards. Even the Creator limits Himself within the confines of the divine/universal Law.

In reality, God is powerless without humans as his instruments in Enrof. Only a man can touch and influence events in the physical world. Neither the beings of the Light, nor of the Dark can accomplish anything without man as their messengers.
As a friend once told me from clairvoyantly observing interactions between such beings about how they could exist in the same room/space, but they were unable to overcome the other, they merely drove each other away temporarily. She added, «Without humanity the darker entities wouldn’t have a line that state they are strong, nor the good, as if wrestling for them. In a tug of war they are stuck in between but existing between them. Some good, some bad, but without the good, or the bad, or the humanity, there wouldn’t be much that measures.»
Besides, what mankind arranges on earth is far from ideal, seldom the best possible outcome. To call that God's will is sheer folly! Man continually delays or thwarts God's plans for them, that he's forced to make adjustments or introduce backup plans into the system.
As Andreev wrote, «only what humans do voluntarily, not under compulsion, is of value.» If God did everything, such as bequeathing knowledge of all things to humans, then man would remain slavish robots. Creator keeping humans dependent on Him will only breed contempt for higher things and nourish desire for liberation from all manacles. He wishes for man to grow, develop, expand without relying solely on Him.
A pagan seeress from the Babylonian era rightly declared, «He who places the weak among the strong encourages the envy of the weak and the contempt of the strong. That is why God has wisely parted.» God does not interfere with His creation, unless it's an extreme case (as Plato, Hermes Trismegistus, and Lactantius have attested). This same seeress alludes to either Lucifer or Gagtungr sabotaging God's order: «Wie dann der abfallende Großengel diese Ordnung zerbrach, da zerbrach auch der himmlische Friede.» The same insight dawned upon St. Hildegard, who wrote in a letter, «God also keeps a watchful eye on every person, so that a lower order will not gain ascendancy over a higher one,» emphasizing that beings must not be gathered together in one place without discrimination since it breeds superiority/inferiority complexes.

God's omnipotence as presented by the theologians is merely lawless arbitrariness, such as what one sees develop in a child's earliest years as he's growing up. Is God such an ignorant child that He can commit any crimes he likes, inflicts harm on whomever he wishes, without suffering any consequences?
One day at the local park, I saw a troubled young woman trying to force a squirrel to come up to her and accept her offering of peanuts, but when the squirrel did not do so, I saw she cursed out loud and was visibly upset. Her mistake was that she was trying to force things to come her way and assert her authority over an animal. It takes time and patience to befriend wildlife. She did not possess the desire to reconcile with Nature, she wanted Nature to shower her with love instead. We see the same thing going on in Palestine. This was said about the Israelis by a great Palestinian poet: «'In Israel they start from the point of saying that you have to love them and then they may be ready to talk to you and know you.» And he adds, «But love is a choice!»
TPTB in their impatience are trying to provoke Nature with their defiance of natural laws, forcing her hand, accelerating God's time tables by influencing the public into manifesting their desired outcomes and by looking into ways to shift timelines.
A friend of mine saw a scenario where the Earth was destroyed by an asteroid, and a few humans were being evacuated by TPTB who were responsible for the Earth's destruction to another dimension. She describes seeing exactly what Andreev warned about, namely, the decimation of animal life and demonization of plants. What stood out to me as most peculiar was this part of her dream:
the «god» was obsessed with specifically recreating the specific kind of smile someone makes out of genuine joy. Not a grim smile, not a forced one, not one during mania either, but genuine joy. They specifically wished for it to be caused by what they caused to happen- they just could never do so.
Now even after all that, some theologians will probably go through some mental gymnastics, inventing all kinds of perverse rationalizations to justify preserving their interpretation of God.

Так же и смерть Христа. Если Господь решил забрать его у нас, значит именно в том его и воля, чтобы мы шли одни.
This is untrue, the Creator did not take Christos from us, Christos made a promise that he would always remain on earth with the people to the end of the first eon.
It is certainly not God's will that mankind should be left to their devices. Mankind chose this management of their own affairs for themselves when they exiled those whom Plato called daemons from their midst. Neither God nor Christos has retreated from Enrof just to passively observe mankind, without taking an active part in the world. Creation hasn't ended, it's an ongoing process.
