The word "Buddha" does not exist in the Christian's Bible. It may exist in one of the other religion's "Bibles", however.
A Buddha is any enlightened person, so drwing any person can be a picture of a Buddha. To draw a picture of the Buddha is going to be difficult as no contemporary images of him exist.
Statues of Buddha are present in many temples. These are representations of the Buddha as no historical images of the Buddha exist. These statues should not be confused with the statues of Hotei, erroneously called the Laughing Buddha, seen in many Chinese restaurants. This the statue of a Budai a Chnese folkloric hero.
Circumcision didn't exist in that time period or that part of the world.
This was a question that the Buddha explicitly declined to answer. More specifically, the question was, "Does an arahat (the Buddha is a type of arahat) exist or not exist after death?"It is also possible that you are referring to some statue of the Buddha. If so, you should make it clear that you are referring to a statue and not to the Buddha himself.
1.Did Jesus exist? Did Allah exist? Did Buddha exist? Do you exist? 2.There is an extremely low chance that Guru Nanak Dev Ji didn't exist; many records and stories of him were made. I think it's more of a question of did he know what god was really like (was he a holy man).
A Buddha is not chosen, when a person becomes enlightened he becomes a Buddha or Bodhisattva, or if he enounces Nirvana to return to enlighten others. If they were "chosen" it would imply a chooser, a set of rules, and an authority. None of these exist.

To become a Buddha, you must cease to exist or become Non-self. While Mahayana Buddhists believe in 18 hells and a few paradises, these are all temporary, as the end goal is Nirvana or non-existence.
