Why is it that the story about Jesus with the same genealogy is different with Jews, Christians and Muslims.

I'm sorry, but the story about Christ isn't different among those religions.
Jesus Christ is the son of God, The Messiah, The Great Physician, The One Foretold, The Son of the Triune God. Christians, Muslims, and Jews all know of the "Messiah" and believe that the Messiah is a fulfillment of prophecy.
God has had many, many names---but there is still only One True Living God.
The Creator --- In the Beginning---God...The first four words of the Bible. God---with whatever name we human beings choose to give Him---is the beginning of all things.
The Muslims believe in Jesus Christ and acknowledge that he was the Savior of the World. Mohammed, Muslims believe, was the Prophet who spread the news of Al ah (God). In fact, Mary, the Mother of Jesus, is highly regarded and respected in the Qu'ran.
Jews know of the prophecy of Jesus Christ---the Son of God, The Messiah. Messianic Jews believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. The Hasidic Jews do not believe the Messiah has yet come.
So, you see---the religions you gave as examples DO believe in God, The Creator---Al ah, Yahweh, Jehovah, God, Abba Father, The Great Physician, The Great Spirit (Native Americans), Prince of Peace, Lord of Lord, King of Kings, The Messiah.
When Christ returns, "Every knee will bow and every tongue confess the name of Jesus."

Hated: truly God made provision for Esau (see Gen.27:39, 36 Deut. 23:7). Hated is an idom the position the different is used to precise a lesser degree. for instance, Gen 29:30 says Jacob loved Rachel better than Leah, besides the undeniable fact that the subsequent verse (actually translated) says that Leah became hated. What Paul is keeping is that Esau became no longer the article of God's electing purpose.

Because we rely on different books. As a Christian, I believe the Bible is the true word of God.
The Christians, Jews and Muslims pretty much agree on the old testiment history. It was when Jesus arrived that we diverged. And Jesus said that he would do just that. He didn't come to bring peace, at least not initially.

On Religion
When you’re born, through genetics you have predisposition to feel more or less Cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is the feeling you get whenever you’re your ideas and opinions are in contrast with that of another person’s or when your actions don’t match your beliefs. If not dealt with it turns into physical headaches and stress. This dissonance functions by making us come together and communicate for survival. If you look around you’ll see that like attracts like. People are attracted to other people with similar ideas because it is reaffirming and makes us feel good by reducing that dissonance. It makes us feel normal. You’re more likely to feel you are correct when other people agree. People will usually use the easiest method to reduce dissonance. Some people, join clubs, teams, or go to church with other people who have similar beliefs. Some people exercise and others use drugs like Tylenol or alcohol. A sense of normlessness is called anomie and can lead to depression and even suicide. In those like groups the ideas polarize and become more extreme while their members become more confident in their conclusions. Middle Eastern religious extremists use religion to enable them to become suicide bombers. If you look at the histories of religion you see a pattern. Each religion helps their society deal with their unique life situation for better or worse. The Egyptians had their sun god ect. Therefore, trying to change someone’s religion can make them less adapt to the issues they face in their life. Unfortunately the function of religion is not to show us the truth but to relieve the dissonance by giving us a set of beliefs that tell us what is normal.
So follow Science. Its just a fancy word for looking closely while being skeptical. You test and retest your ideas and gather facts. While it may not give us everything it sure is a lot better than just making stuff up.

Because before there was writing, people felt touched by a supernatural mystical emotional/spiritual felling. They felt divine and claimed it was caused by a deity (which could be true, or they may have just been crazy, you decide). They may have spread and/or preached their beliefs to thier village and was passed down from generation to generation to when writing was invented and was put on print. There are no facts in life, only theories. The truth, in my opinion, is in nature. For all we know, this reality could just be a dream. Teachings that are told through word of mouth often get changed and/or leaves part(s) omitted. So in turn, there may have been different versions to the same idea/belief/opinion etc. In this time in day, there are so many allegations and society forces you to choose one or no religion, but not two or three... Everyone claims they know the truth and they have facts (which are not really fact, but force themselves to believe it as such by arranging things/thoughts etc. to make it seem as facts; I myself have been a victim to this) but are really just thier opinions. It all boils down to you and your beliefs. most people, almost everyone, assumes you must need to have a religion if you believe in GOD. Which ever way you choose, ask for forgiveness because you are not certain in your beliefs, so may GOD forgive you. That is how you FEAR Lord GOD!!!
May GOD have mercy on us ALL!
Composition of the Universe, by percent (http://whyfiles.org/197dark_energy_old_gal/)
Visible matter and energy 5%, Dark matter 25%, Dark energy 70%
My opinion is GOD is not a complete physical being especially as a man/male, and if you feel the same, Dont't state Lord GOD as Him.
GOD = Love(energy)+matter+spirit

It is just how the forefathers of that ideology took to preaching to their fellow men. The story is all the same. But still its amazing how the three of them fight between each other and the whole world and are against all other religions around the world. Its tragic. Religion and language were made to unite and understand people around the world and to lead a harmonious life. No religion as a whole was created to destroy other people or other religion. The people who follow them should understand that.

Different images of God.
There is only One God but the issue is how they vision Him. Most everyone see Him partially, not the complete glory He carries. This brings dangerous ground if we do not desire to know all of Him.

It is because God as a cultural fixation is a dictation of class. Priests are higher up than commonfolk, so in order to beat the priests you need to invent a better religion.

Because no one knows the real story.
Everyone has different view points and opinions, so everyone's idea of what really happened is different.
That's why there are different religions which you are free to join depending on what you think and believe.

because different cultures adopt different stories as to what was handed down from their ancestors. each and every person must find their own truth as to what to believe in. as i see it, every one no matter what they believe or how they believe, is a child of the creator. brothers and sisters, are we all. blessed be
