All of you believe in an Abrahamic faith. How do you feel about the other varieties of believers I have listed?

Well, mormoms have so-called prophet called Joe Smith (love the genericness of the name).
They also have a book that they say they need. The Bible says the Bible is the only book you need so I don't need their book. Joe Smith was a fraud.
They also seem to change their minds a lot when it come to prophecies that end up being false.
Jesus is the only way to God. Joe Smith is irrelevant.
I grew up in the Catholic Church. Never quite understood it. Why do I have to confess my sins to some guy when God already nows what I've done and if I'm sorry. Too much song and dance and not enough actually learning about the Bible.
Don't know much about the Jewish faith.
Protestants are just another wing of Christianity, like the Catholics. So many people tailor Christianity to their lifestyle, I don't get it.
Muslims, well the way of this word today I don't know what to think about them. Are they good? Are they bad? Well, I do know some of them are messed up.
All I know is that the Bible is the only book I need and Jesus is the only ticket to eternal life.

Except for the Muslims we all worship Jehovah. Us protestants worship Jesus as Messiah, as well as the catholics. Mormons worship Jesus but technically they are a cult, and a little non biblical.
Muslims have a very different idea about forgiveness than western culture understands as mercy. They reduce the Son of God to a "prophet"

Sigh. Why do people insist on putting together all these faiths? There is only one God and only one way to God, by Jesus Christ. Not everyone you listed believes that. Jews don't, Muslims don't, Catholics think you have to be a member in good standing of the Catholic church and obey the "sacraments" (salvation is not by faith in Christ alone) and Mormons believe in a Jesus that is not the biblical Jesus.
There are a dozen beliefs that are ever-so-slightly off the path when it comes to Jesus. And that ever so slightly leads many astray.

At various times in the history of the world, knowledge of God and the plan for His children is revealed to man through prophets. Eventually false teachings creep in, authority is lost, and general apostasy occurs. Usually some truth survives and can be found in most religions. In addition there are many people through the ages who are inspired in one form or another with portions of the truth.
The most recent restoration of truth began in 1820 through the prophet Joseph Smith.

In line with islamic teaching in this world there are 2 types of religion i.e (1)a religion that has been given by Allah the only one God :Jewish religion with Torach,Christian religion with Bible and Islam religion with Al Qur'an. and (2) a religion that has been made by human such as Hindhu,Budha,Tao,Kongfu
cu,Sinto etc.
We muslims do not degrade Jesus as a son of God to only a prophet,but Allah stated it in the holy Qu'an that Jesus was only a prophet and he was not a son of God because God has no son and no parents.Yes we are all the descendants of Abraham prophet and also the descendants of Adam and Eve.In the Hadeth we know that our prophet Muhammad pbuh said that the jewish religion will be broken into 70 groups,and christian religion will be broken into into 72 groups and islamic religion will be broken into 73 groups.
But each varieties are not so far so they will be group as jews,christians and muslims.

If you are born to a Jewish mother,you're Jewish. All of the mentioned religions stem from Abraham and as long as you believe in GD you should respect each other.

All these have some common elements. There are, of course some differences. I don't believe Mormons are anything other than a cult. Muslims are also likewise. They have some truth, but are judged by their actions and how they jive with scripture.

I think they would make a good study group.
