Buddists believe in multiple lives and the power of ourselves as God.
Jesus showed the truth. He did not need to study other philosophies. He is God. And as the creator of the Universer who threw the moon and stars into space - he had no need to look into these things. The God of the Old Testament despised these foreign Gods. Jehovah he is God. Jesus Christ the son of God. Through Jesus I Salvation.

As I understand it, Buddhism is about seeking enlightenment and nirvana. "Truth" tends to imply getting all your facts straight and believing the right things, and a Buddhist would have a problem with that approach.
Huh???
This is not my view of buddhism, but it could be because of the buddhism I’ve studied.
I don’t believe I’m seeking anything, although I find things.
Budda = enlightened. Anyone can be a buddha.
I breathe and follow my breath, I name things as they arise and fall.
If I get a few moments of peace, it’s a bonus.
I feel that seeking to attain something defeats the purpose.
YMMV.

Everything else is a lie.
Jenna, I don’t know where you get that notion, but it’s wrong.
Buddhism does not believe in any god.
It does talk about the intereconnectedness of all things.
You might want to peruse two books: A Path with Heart by Jack Kornfield and The Original Jesus, the Buddhist sources of Christianity, by Elmar Gruber & Holger Kersten.

Buddhists reject the notion of any god figure because it's an attachment. What I'd like to know is why your so confident that Jesus showed the truth when there are so many paths to truth that your own path is just as likely to be a lie.

Buddhists do not "reject the notion of any god figure because it's an attachment".
That's not an accurate statement.
Read/study more.
And there can be, depending on which Buddhist "stream" and what the practice is, intense work and involvement with deity(s) to greater and lesser degrees.

Your right. From what I've read before, the Buddha rejected the idea of a Creator god and argued against the dependence on gods.
