That's ridiculous. If God is perfect then why would he make ignoble men who do terrible things? We are given free will and make choices. The exception are those born with defects who can't make rational choices. But most of us can make decisions that impact others in good and bad ways. We will be judged on the decisions we make.
You contradict Scripture by this statement.

That is not consistent with Scripture as the Holy Spirit teaches me.

Hebrews 3:15​

As it is said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

Hebrews 3:12

Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

Proverbs 28:13-14

Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. Blessed is the one who fears the Lord always, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

Mark 8:17

And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?

And there it is. You do what you want and say the Holy Spirit taught you that.

1 Corinthians 2:14

New International Version

14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.
