Why then do we say they differ so?

Thank you Peace upon you Lord willing.
Hadith from Sahih Muslim in the Hadith (Prophetic ways and sayings of Muhammed (PBUH) and his Ummah (Family), saying that each of us are linked to each other and there is only one enemy then and still only one now, he is on the left. Friends are #4 Right :)

Allah has sent his prophets to deliver the message that there is to worship Allah alone and some of the people choose to listen to Allah while others ignore him.
after every prophet people would change in the religion wither it's claiming that Jesus is the son of Allah or what ever so he sent more prophets to lead people to the right path until prophet Muhammad who was the last prophet and the religion of Islam hasn't been changed such as other religions because Allah is protecting it from being changed.
so they differ so much because they were all changed by people(except for Islam)

The three religions were born in the same geographic region and so, have a lot of common practices and common prophets (although with different spellings and pronounciations - eg: Abraham, Ibrahim.) However, they do not have a common creator.
Over time the three religions have diverged from each other in terms of day to day practices and in terms of the degree of upholding the traditional beliefs. So, in modern parlance, they canbe viewed as superficially different with a similar core. Half the trouble is because the awareness of the differences trumps the knowledge of the similar core.

It is doctrine when it concerns Christians and Jews. Simply put; Christians believe the Messiah has come and Jewish people (mostly) do not. This obviously affects the doctrine of the Trinity as well. There are other issues but that is the primary one.
Islam doesn't emanate from the same creator. Allah and the Christian and Jewish God are not one and the same. The person of Christ is the key difference here again. Only Christianity recognizes Him as being God incarnate.

Judaism-- Doesn't believe Jesus is anything but a man that lived and died and is still dead--They believed Jesus to be a blasphemer too
Islam--Believes Jesus is a prophet, not the Son of God--doesn't believe Jesus died on the cross or arose from the grave
Christianity--believes Jesus is the Son of God--Believes Jesus died on the cross and arose from the Grave--Believes Jesus is the Messiah the Old Testament spoke of--Believes Jesus Christ fullfilled the promise given to Abraham from God.
I would say they differ.

Because people are looking at the transitory social teachings rather than at the fundamental purpose and aims of the religions. Looking at the social teachings, differences abound since they were intended for different times in history when people were at different stages of advancement in different cultural contexts, e.g., tribal, city, nation/empire. However, the fundamental reality underlying them is the same -- the advancement and welfare of a humanity in love with their creator.

Jews and Christians are in agreement. Islam (Ishmael) still argues that he was the first born and not Isaac.
The problem is Ishmael was born to a madservant and not Abraham's wife. Abraham and Sarah sought to rush God. It didn't work.
Now today, Ishmael (Islam) wars with all things derived from the tribe of Isaac, including the incorporated family called Christians.

The Christian view is that Christianity did indeed sprout from the root that was Judaism, but that the Jews failed to recognize their Messiah and are presently cut off from the knowledge of God through unbelief. This will not always be the case.
As for Islam, it has no legitimate connection with either. It is the product of one misguided man, who understood neither Christianity nor Judaism.

The three Abrahamic religions are all from the same source (Abraham) and all three make women subservient and less equal than men, all advocate violence as a means to an end and all believe their religion is the only true religion......I'd say there are more similarities than differences.

The are different ways to worship the Creator. For all three religions there are customs and traditions that have grown throughout the centuries.

The Jewish Faith is the father of the other two.
Christianity is a completion of Judaism--from our perspective-- and Islam is a heresy of Christianity.
