“The greatest expression of God's love is His giving His Son for the sins of believers - by crushing Him instead of the sinner (1 John 4:10-11, the way God loved is He "sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins."; also John 3:16). Jesus willingly offering Himself up to bear sins. Buddhism has nothing to do with this, and in no way comprehends the love of God for this reason. If Buddhists did, they would worship Christ alone, and rely on Him for their righteousness, and they wouldn't be Buddhists at all.
That we do not have exhaustive knowledge of God does not mean that God has not sufficiently revealed Himself. He has, and the cornerstone of that revelation is the incarnation of His Son: "No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known." Either Jesus was lying, or Jesus has sufficiently revealed God. God has definitively spoken through Jesus (Heb. 1:1-3), and the only way to God is through Jesus.”
As Carson has said, ‘an omniscient talking God changes everything.’
