Their metaphysics are incompatible. Don't be swayed by perennialists or universalists trying to mash every world religion together. 
Buddhism is a crypto-annihilationist cult underneath the veneer of ~peace and love~ anyway, and one that operates under the same dichotomy between suffering and pleasure that the modern Western atheist operates under. You won't find answers about the origin or meaning of existence in a belief system that advocates annihilating the self as a valid response to suffering.

The truth is the truth wholly and absolutely. Traditions and paths may differ but an enlightened or divine person who knows the truth (and therefore God as logos) knows the same. We must be careful as well, to not conflate these men with their traditions. As both christianity and buddhism have countless sects with beliefs regarding these men and their teachings. 

Exemplary, this poster expresses a common misconception held that Buddha is annihilationist. And that Buddhas and Jesus's metaphysics are dissimilar. Rather Buddha is agnostic regarding metaphysics as his aim was the cessation of human suffering. And Jesus the same, as his aim was to show humans the kingdom of god which is the cessation of suffering. 

Also please be careful with biblical literalism.

Your seeking indicates something has already been found my friend.

Case in point: you, someone who thinks the 'cessation of suffering' is the end goal of two completely different religious systems, like all the incompatible elements of their metaphysics can be handwaved away with some platitudes about 'Truth.'
Buddhism *is* annihilationist - it advocates the obliteration of the self as it dissolves into Brahman, explicitly in order to avoid suffering due to attachment to the world. You can't claim Buddha was 'agnostic' about metaphysics when he makes explicitly metaphysical claims about the origin of the world and the self and their ultimate purposes. 
You also fail to understand the purpose of Christianity. If the point is just the 'cessation of suffering' then suicide becomes an acceptable option, as well as becoming totally passive to the world, even though both options are explicitly rejected by traditional Christianity.
I like how you're trying to project some kind of enlightened-wise-one image with your phrasing and language even though you're advocating trite peace-and-love junk devoid of robust metaphysical underpinnings as if it's some ultimate cosmic truth and not the ramblings of hippies and drug addicts.

Then why didn't the Buddha advocate that, hm, really makes you think

Fortunately, no one here thinks this. I said cessation of suffering is the AIM of these two MEN during their times on earth.

>Buddhism *is* annihilationist - it advocates the obliteration of the self as it dissolves into Brahman

No, it advocates for the obliteration of body-mind identification. You are referencing the doctrine of anatta. Which is the consciousness of the not-self. Not the rejection of Atman which = Brahman.

>You can't claim Buddha was 'agnostic' about metaphysics when he makes explicitly metaphysical claims about the origin of the world and the self and their ultimate purposes.

I'd love to see where Buddha said such things. I'm aware of Buddhist cosmology, but this is not that.

>You also fail to understand the purpose of Christianity. If the point is just the 'cessation of suffering' then suicide becomes an acceptable option, as well as becoming totally passive to the world, even though both options are explicitly rejected by traditional Christianity.

Was Buddha passive in the world? Also 
As indicated here.

Just conjecture.
