Christians believe Jesus is their Lord and Savior. Jews believe that Jesus was a man on earth (a prophet), but Jews don't believe he is the messiah. Jews think that the messiah is still to come to earth. Mohammad is the Muslims messiah and Muslims think they're the only true religion. They also think you have to earn your way to Heaven. Muslims study the Quaran. The Jewish Bible is only the Old Testament because they don't believe the messiah has come yet. The Christian Bible includes both the Old Testament and the New Testament because we believe the messiah AKA Jesus Christ has come and we're waiting for the second coming of Jesus. The second coming to Christians will be Revelation in the Bible. It will also be the first coming to Jews, but those comings can't co-exist. Muslims think they're the only righteous people to this earth.

I know the quran was written after the Bible and it imitates the Bible in many ways. I'm not Muslim.

You pretty much nail it on the head. They can't all be right. The only thing I would add is that Judaism and Christianity are far more closely related. The New Testament says that God will reconcile the house of Israel (Jews) to himself in the end times because he made a promise to Abraham (Abrahamic Covenant). And God always keeps his promises. I think the Jews refuse to believe in Jesus as the Messiah because they crucified their Messiah who they were waiting in anticipation for. I think they feel an undue amount guilt for this. But the book of Isaiah says that the Messiah will suffer and be killed. But it wasn't just the Jews that killed him, it was also the Romans. In actuality we are all responsible for Christ's death, since it was our sin that he came to forgive. God's plan from the beginning was to provide a way of salvation, even by dying on a cross to prove he loved the world. But the Bible was written by 44 authors and is a compilation of 66 books that have a unified message. Which is completely different than the Quran which was written by one man, mohammad in 520ad. Mohammad in the Quran says that Abraham converted to Islam at the end of his life. Which doesn't make any sense if you read the historical biography of Abraham in the Bible. The Quran also says that Jesus was a muslim and so was mary his mother. First of all, that's ridiculous; we have the genealogy of Jesus, Mary, and joseph who can follow their genealogical lines back to King David as prophesied. David was told by God that the messiah would be one of his descendants. Also, the quran doesn't acknowledge the trinity, Jesus' divinity (which Catholicism & Christianity both agree on), and is filled with contradictions. The message of the New Testament is repent from your sins, accept Jesus who will forgive you, love your neighbor and love God. This is a total contradiction than the message of the Quran which is killing anyone who doesn't believe in islam. Bottom line, Islam is wrong. Just like all cults and other religions they tell you that part of the Bible is right. But they do not acknowledge parts of it, omit major parts, or skew other parts in major ways. By the way, in islam you can still go to heaven if you didn't believe in allah after you die. There is no hell. So, if Isam is wrong, (which I firmly believe it is) and you die, you go to hell if you don't know Jesus as your savior. But if Christianity is wrong, then you can still go to the heaven of allah. Jesus says to pray for your enemies, islam says kill anyone who doesn't convert to islam. Jesus said, go out and tell people about the good news about salvation. Islam gives you rules you have to follow to gain favor allah. In the Christian heaven you worship God and get to enjoy God's grace and mercy. In Islamic heaven you get 70 virgins to have sex with and use women as objects. I really don't think the God of the universe cares whether a guy gets laid or not. It would be pretty sad if all heaven was, was an orgy. Only a perverse mind would think heaven was having sex with 70 virgins. The quran is full of lies and deceit.

about the jews and Muslim stuff, i need to make a correction for u..Muhammad is the Messiah the jews have been waiting 4, and the jews at Madina during prophet's time, did know that Muhammad is the Messiah, but these jews are too arrogant and THOUGHT that the Messiah should be someone from Isaac not Ismael..and some of these jews are scared that if they bcome Muslim, they cant rule Medina anymore, the Muslims believe that jesus is a prophet. In the bible and in the torah, there were some description of the coming prophet but throughout time, those christians and jews changed their revelation and make it the way they want it..the jews killed lots of prophet
Christianity, Islam and Judaism come from the same source different messenger and Islam and Judaism is quite near to each other

All people have faith in something and choose to believe in something even if that is in nothing at all. Your initial perceptions of Jews and Christianity is correct in that the Jews did not and still do not accept Jesus as their prophesied Messiah. They are looking for a messiah that will come as a warrior and lead them into a new world with Him as their King. The Christians say that is correct for the second coming of Christ but that prophecy also foretold of the first coming of Christ. Islam or the Muslim religion believes in one God they call Allah and they say his Messenger (not Messiah) is Mohammad. There are many differences but in the end the all will be answered and each will realize if their faith was misplaced or legit. If the Christians are correct then the Jews will reconcile their beliefs with those of the Christians if not then it will be obvious the outcomes. Allah (Muslim God) and Jehovah (Jewish and Christian) God are two different God's even though they both believe in one and only God and/or Creator. Christians accept that Jesus Christ was God's Messiah, as you indicated, and the Jews still are looking ofr their Messiah. Muslim believers believe Allah is God but that Mohammad is the messenger by which they communicate with Allah. It at times seems confusing and that they are similar and in nature they may be but they are totally different in the focus of their faith and destination of that faith.

Wrong.
Both Christians and Muslims believe that their religion is the one true religion. Muslims do not believe that Muhammad is some sort of saviour, or messiah. Muhammad is only a messenger of God. Muslims view Jesus as only a man, not a son of God, but the same as Muhammad, Moses or Abraham, Jesus is only a messenger. Muslims believe Jesus is still alive, will come before the end of the world again, and will destroy the deceiver, the antichrist. Muhammad ,pbuh, is dead.

Jews do not think Jesus was a prophet. We also do not believe in a trinity. The Old Testament and the Torah read very differently. There are many more differences.

Islam is false doctrine and a lie , the quran was written after the Bible and was made to lead man away from the truth . We are living under the new covenant and the New Testament . Anyone who lives by the old law will be condemned by it .

Muslims also believe that Jesus (Peace be on him) will come. When he will come back as follower of Prophet Mohammad (Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon him), he will break the cross and kill the pig so that Christianianity will be over and he will fight with Muslims against the jews so that judaism will be over as well and only Islam will remain till the Judgement day will come!

No. Muslims accept the old testament as well. All three cults believe in the same mythical "god", it's their disrespectful - oops, respective -second parts (the newt estimate, the torah! torah! torah! and the Quran Quran) that are all different.
