Christianity was not true. I think that's where you are getting confused.

just think about it logically...doen't christianity have the same statement?
if there is only one God and He is present always...throughout the complete human history...and he has sent Adam as to Earth...and every other prophet to guide us to the right path. Solomon as, David as, Moses as, Jonas as, Josef as, Noah as...
why would their names be mentioned in the Bible if they all called to their own religion?
so...Christianity AND Judaism have both the same statement as Islam...Islam is just the latest update of the true religion...and with that all other religions are declared invalid.
Umit said it was true at some point.

How do they have the same statement of these prophets never named those religions Christianity or Judaism? Note, Moses was from the tribe of Levi, not Judah but they are related none of the less.
From the Islamic point of view from what I understand so far, the Christians were a group of people that believed in Jesus as the messiah and it didn’t mean followers of Christianity, it meant supporters of Christ and they were Muslims. Not the meaning we have today.

Just because Judaism is implied in the Bible and the Talmud, doesn’t mean it’s mentioned by name and that’s my opinion.
I think you are confused because you're using western definitions and applying them to the Islamic explanations. You have to stay within the context of Islam. Obviously dictionaries will not tell you that Jesus and Moses were preaching Islam. It would make no sense though in the larger scheme of things for each one to be preaching a different religion.
