Why did John D. Rockefeller make a monopoly in the oil industry?

Rockefeller believed that, "Competition is a sin." Yet he was also a philanthropist. Competition is good for a capitalistic society like the US.
Competitors lower prices which draws the consumer to them. This doesn't sound
like something a philanthropist, someone who loves all people and wants to help
them, would say.
