We've come full circle where you avoid this problem by removing omni-benevolence. Good for you, and I suppose I get to ask again, "So, god is not omnibenevolent then?" and maybe this time you wont try to salvage it with bullshit about "unauthorized biographies" and "enough truth", right?
Sin is anything not in the Expressed will of God
Evil is a malicious intention to be out side of that expressed will
Not all sin is Evil, but all evil is sin.
Right there did you see it? Evil is not a thing. Evil is the description of a malicious desire to be outside of God's expressed will. Evil is like a hole. A hole is not a physical/tangible object. It is the description we give when there is a void or a lack of material in an object. Like in a wall or in a donut.
Evil is the intense lack of desire to be in the expressed Will of God. If God demanded/forced that we be in said will then their could not be "freewill." Evil is apart of the gift of free will. It is the proof that free will exists.
For Free Will is biblically defined as having the ability of being outside of the expressed will of God. In otherwords it is the ability to sin. Evil is the extreme end to sin. therefore underscoring the principle/gift of free will.
