Buddhism: Compatible with Christianity?

So, this question came to me today through spiritual processes. I then stopped to think: A person can obviously be a Buddhist and also a Christian, but, if so, they cannot have statues of the Buddha or adore Buddha. God has to be above Buddha and Buddha is just a fellow enlightened human. I then asked Co-pilot if Buddha ever said he was a god. Co-pilot confirmed my suspicion: Never. I then asked if Buddha ever told people to build statues at his image or adore those. Co-pilot confirmed my suspicion: Never. Well, the rule is if the entity never said so, don't invent they did and don't do it, basically. Our God is radically against statues and, more specially adoration of those. Our God is also a jealous God: no other god at all, just Him. I don't know the philosophy of Buddhism that well but, from what I have heard and seen, there is no conflict with Christianity, nothing at all. May God bless!
