Omnipotence = writing the characters
Omniscience = having seen the movie
In a movie they don't deviate because they were written that way. That's not the same thing as knowing how a character will react.
I'll toss you a bone. You can argue we don't have free will because circumstances of your life have already been dictated (genetic code determines your height and hair color, your ability to understand algebra, etc). You'd still be wrong, but you'd have a better argument than saying knowing is the same as doing.
God supposedly knew my every thought and action before I existed. Consequently the script of my life was written before I even had consciousness. My character had to have been "written that way", otherwise he could not possibly know.
Consequently, I'm only acting out the script that was predestined by him and his knowledge of my future thoughts and actions. I can not have a thought or action counter to his previous knowledge of them.
I'm basically a movie character in a movie he has already watched.
Try watching a movie and see how many times it changes.
