Thought provoking questions can lead to Truth

Questions about God, Satan and Creation 

Is God absolutely holy, just, moral and loving? 

Is God the source of the absolute peace? 

What is the origin of sin? Where has Satan come from? 

Can a just God create sin? 

Can a genuine God have partnership with sin? 

Where did death and suffering come from? 

Did the Holy and Perfect God create a suffering imperfect world? 

Should God reveal His full and absolute justice and release man from Satan? 

Why wouldn’t God be interested in abolishing the work of Satan on earth?

Buddhist became a Christian 3

Buddhists believe karma keeps one trapped in an endless cycle of death and rebirth (samsara), and the only way out is through enlightenment. To become enlightened, one has to eliminate desire. Buddha taught that desire is the root of suffering; that it causes attachment, which leads to suffering, and in turn causes other beings to suffer. This produces negative karma. If one eliminates desire and stops causing suffering, one can become enlightened, as he had.

But eventually I began to question. Who or what had set this law of karma in motion? Who judged these beings' actions and sentenced them to another life of pain? Why were beings punished for actions they would be unable to remember? Was desire always a bad thing? Wasn't the desire for enlightenment still desire? If so, how could one ever attain enlightenment?
