If I understand your point of view, it is not benevolent for God to create a being that is capable of doing wrong and then punishing that wrong, when he could have made a perfect being.
My point of view is that only a being with free will can have actions with worth and be rewarded, and that while because of free will the being can do evil it is not God's
fault that the being behaves in that manner.
