If Christians do not believe in Jesus then they go to hell.
If Muslims and Jews believe in Jesus then they go to hell.
Since they all come from the base religion Judaism, which means that it is basically based upon the same God, then how do you know which one is right, and which one to follow, so that you do not go to hell?
May the Mercy of God be with you all.

This is to Rahma.....Yes I know all about the way Muslims believe in Jesus but I was refering to the context in which Christians believe in Jesus. I know that Muslims believe in him only as a prophet but Christians believe in him as lord. Muslims would go to hell as said in their Quran because their is only one God and for Muslims to worship Jesus would mean that they would be worshiping two Gods in their eyes.

Religion is a tricky *****. If you look at my other posts then you will see that religion as we know it has been corrupted by many people. All I can advise is to live your life as you think God woud like it to be led.

Christianity, Judaism and Islam are rooted in similar beliefs but they are all very different from one another.
To deal with your first statement: "If Christians do not believe in Jesus then they go to hell." That is not necessarily true because someone who does not believe in Jesus is not a Christian.
I'm not sure what you mean by "believe in" but I would assume it means that someone recognizes they are sinful and the debt for their sin has been paid for by the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. If that is how you would define "believe in" than someone who adheres to those beliefs would be a Christian, whether they are of Jewish heritage or if they are Arab or whatever.
As for the subject of who goes to hell - it's a complicated issue in Judaism and Islam. Many Muslims (the Hadith claims that not even Muhammed himself) knew if he would be sent to heaven or hell after his death. Salvation is largely earned in Islam by praying and acting on one's devotion to Allah.
As for Christianity, that is truly biblical Christianity, you don't have to (and actually you cannot possibly) earn your salvation through good works. The price for your salvation has already been paid through Christ's work on the cross. I would recommend reading the Apostles' Creed for a quick synopsis of the Christian belief system.

Who says that if muslims believe in Jesus we will go to hell? You are misinformed. We do believe in Jesus, he was a chosen messenger of Allah, or God in christianity, and he had a book, as did Moses and Prophet Mohamed (saw). We do believe in Jesus, same as christians. We just do not believe he was crucified. Allah saved him, body and soul, to fight the "antichrist" in the final battle.
May Allah put you on the right path.

Read the Holy Bible, of which in the case of Jewish, is their own books, the Old Testament. In the case of Muslim, they say that it is a Holy book and the Quran was written by Muhammad, who originally followed this same book, Old and New, yet made his own to satisfy his own beliefs on how he wanted things. Either way, the Holy Bible is the full and only authority.

Jewish bible prophesied that a Messiah would come born of a virgin, in a town called Bethlehem, from the linage of David, would die on a cross rise again etc...Jesus was the only one to "fulfill" those prophecy's
so the answer is Christianity

And to you iM AM jEWISH AND IT IS RIGHT FOR ME AND the right religion is the one you feel most comfortable with. My shoe size is 7 and I saw a great pair of shoes I wanted but in size 8, although I loved the shoe it was NOT right for me. You must try to love each other and we will all meet up in Heaven

Try praying and asking the One True God to come into your life. He will do it. And He will show Himself to you as well. May God Bless U.

Christ said "I am the Way, the truth, and the Life. No one comes to the father except through me."

That is the paradox of the so-called, "People Of The Book." In their egotism they have covered their shared book with blood.

Difficult to answer. They're all striving to pleasing God through their actions. They all deserve heavan through all their sincere actions.
