Well, God has just willed literally every possible configuration of matter/energy/space into existence - so no single possibility remains that can be called contrary to the will of God. So there's no sin. QED. Also, since nothing can go against the will of God, and whatever God wills is good, which in this case is 100% of everything, the whole omnibenevolence thing is redundant (along, as you say, with God himself).

"Murder, violence, lying, cheating, theft," Lucifer enumerated. "Sin, on the other hand, essentially includes anything that looks like it might be fun."
