Why was belief in Jesus' resurrect so important to his disciples and other followers?

The Apostle Paul gives the best answer to your question that you could hope for:1 Corinthians 15:12-22 - Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up - if in fact the dead do not rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.[NKJV]

Which Buddhism god was similar to Jesus Christ?

None. Jesus Christ is the the son of God and he rose from the dead. Jesus 'is' now, but the Buddhism gods 'were', as you said.


Acts 26-23 says Jesus was the first to rise from the dead how when it says Moses and Elijah met Jesus on the mount of transfiguration?

History is filled with testimonies of the dead living again. Even today we read, hear of or witness the resuscitation of people formerly pronounced "dead." But all of these people rose from the dead "mortal"... and died again, later.But the "first" spoken of, regarding Jesus' resurrection from the dead, is that He is the "first to rise from the dead IMMORTAL." The first mortal man ever to be literally, "born again."He is the Firstfruits and the Firstborn of God's Children to undergo the type of resurrection mentioned in I Corinthians 15:51-54. He is the first "man" to rise from the dead and "put on immortality.""...now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the Firstfruits of them that slept [died]. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection from the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."But every man in his own order: Christ the Firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's AT HIS COMING." (I Cor.15:20-23)The "transfiguration" of Jesus, which Peter, James and John saw, was a VISION!"And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the VISION to no man, until the Son of Man be risen again from the dead." (Matt.17:9)Moses and Elijah [contrary to the modern teachings of some] are DEAD... and shall be among the "dead in Christ" who shall rise from the dead at Jesus' "second coming" before those who are Christ's and still alive on earth at that time."According to the Lord's own Word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep [died]. For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the DEAD IN CHRIST WILL RISE FIRST." (I Thess.4:15-16 NIV)Moses and Elijah are not alive now... nor were they alive in that "vision." Only the "living" flesh and blood Jesus who stood before His disciples was the real person, tranfigured, to show them how His glorified body would appear in the Kingdom.All Jesus was doing was fulfilling His promise to them:"Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in His Kingdom." (Matt.16:28)And sure enough... some of them standing there; Peter, James and John... didn't have long to wait [before they died] to see Christ in His Kingdom -- in VISION [where Moses and Elijah will also be, then]. They had no "snapshots" of Moses or Elijah to be able to "recognize" who stood there with Jesus. How could they know Moses and Elijah from Adam, and even name them, except it was revealed to them in the vision?].People coming back from the dead are a "dime a dozen." They come back as mortally as they died. But Jesus Christ is the only man to rise from the dead "immortally."He's still alive [many professing Christians tend to forget that]. And those living or dead who are Christ's will each have their turn at that same miraculous form of regeneration from the dead. But, every man in his own order."...The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening Spirit... And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly." (I Cor.15:45-49)

I was crucified with Christ never the less you live yet not I but Christ live?

Galatians 2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness [come] by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.


How did Lord Satan destroy Jesus Christ?

First of all it isn't "Lord" Satan it's just Satan and second of all he never actually destroyed Jesus Christ. The most he ever accomplished is that he got Jesus Christ crucified on what is now called Good Friday but even then Jesus was never actually destroyed he was just dead but even then he was resurrected three days later on what is now Easter and then Jesus Christ went to back to heaven with his body and therefor was never destroyed.
