I have identified 3 traits of a god (as far as I'm aware consistent with the xtian conception). It may be a logical necessity for god do only do good things, but this means he is either imprisoned behind his own nature or chooses not to. Thus god is NOT free, as VOID has stated.I'm not begging the question but pointing out that the root definition contradicts your premise.
Omnibenevolent is an inaccurate description of the Christian God. It needs further refining to be accurate. Yes God is 'imprisoned' by logic... but it is fallacial to try to reconstruct that as 'limited in freedom'.
