Fact or fiction? It seems clear to me that it's true, but I'm just wondering what other people think and why. Please support your answer. Thanks!

Judaism and Christianity were, in essence, the same thing.....until Jesus Christ. At that point, the Jews rejected that Christ was the Son of God and the Redeemer of mankind...they stopped, in essence, with the Old Testament and Christians went forward understanding that Christ is the lynchpin of everything.
As for Islam, while Christianity and Judaism use the Bible as their Truth, Islam turns to the Q'uran. Islam differs from both other faiths in many essential issues so while it uses some concepts from the Old Testament (again, it rejects Jesus Christ as savior and adds Mohammed as just as important) it is the most deviant of the three from the truth.

Fact. Israel did a good job with monotheism, apparently, and everyone else decided to adapt it so that it isn't gentile-exclusionary. The Christians made a Messiah character who took characteristics from a lot of indo-european demi-Gods, Mithra most especially, and the Prima-Muslim Mohommad managed to get an interview with the Seraphim Gabriel and waxed intellectually on God's new paradigm of furthering hatred toward women. All in all, both became far more successful than Judaism.

Abram, was the first man to believe that there is only one God, and that He is th Most High..The name Abram means "exalted father" God changed Abram's name to Abraham, which means father of many nations. Abraham had a son who's name was Isaac, Isaac had a son ,his name was Jacob, God changed his name to Israel, Israel had 12 sons, one of whom was named Judah. The family of each of the 12 sons became Hugh tribes. So there were 12 tribes known as the children of Israel. 11 of the 12 tribes strayed form God's ways and were scattered and lost, but the tribe of Judah was the only one of the twelve tribes that did not stray from the ways of God , and they stayed in tact. Judah is the tribe of David and the tribe of Jesus the Christ. Christ means "One Anointed"...Those who fellow the teaching of Jesus Christ , are called Christian...So technically Christianity is built on the foundation of Abraham. Judaism is not a religion but a tribe or race of people... The Bible was around two thousand years before the Quran, What's written in the Quran was taken from the Bible and distorted. So I guess you could say that Islam was also.loosely built on the foundation of Abraham.

Yes, they were.
Judaism was the first organised religion to recognise the existence of one G-d and one G-d only.
Jesus was Jewish; he died a practising Jew when the Romans murdered him. The first Christians were Jewish. Jesus never renounced his religion.
Christianity developed after the death of Jesus. Islam came a bit later. If you read up about Judaism and Islam you will find certain interesting similarities.

Christianity more so than Islam, but yes. Islam's links to Judaism stem from Abraham.

The statement you have said or stated is fiction. The one thing that makes it fiction is Islam Is not built on the foundation of Judaism. Christianity is based on Judaism.

Islam is a false religion built on a false prophet and false god. Allah is a false god mohammed pulled from a trash heap of over 350 others in a village. It all stems from Satan fooling the masses. They claim to be the receivers of Abraham's blessing through Ishmael, but that was not given to Ismael as he was illigitimate. Isaac was not. Issaac received the blessing. Ishmael was born first, but when the Bible talked of firstborn, it was a title of immenence, not neccessarily order of birth. God did not recognize Ishmael. In this since, they are both tied to Judaism, but Christianity is supported by fulfilled prophecies from the Old Testament where Islam simply is a farce created by Satan.

Christianity is build on the Word of God, Jesus.
Islam stole ideas from Judaism and Christianity. Both OT and NT were available when Muhammad claimed to have messages from God through angel.

Yes fundamently christianity more than islam .The muslim connection is through Abraham's son Ishmael who is the ancestor of the arab people.The
Jews believe the messiah has not come yet. Christians believe that the messiah has already come in the person of Jesus. the muslim respect Jesus but Mohammed is their main prophet.

YES!
Jesus was a jew and followed the law of Moses.
Jesus fulfilled this law. Jesus also fulfilled over 300 prophecies in the Old Test-I have a the list if anyone wants it.
Islam took Judaism and put a twist on it. He then first brought it to the Jews then the Christians who both rejected him and his new religion.
