*Jesus as Savior (in his proposed capacity as G-d)
However, these theological issues do not fit the classical [[Noahide Law on Idolatry|Jewish definition of idolatry]] and . This has been variously interpreted by caused disagreement among rabbinic authoritieson the question of the permissibility of Christianity for non-Jews. (All authorities forbid Christianity for Jews).
Also even if Christians were considered at least partially observant Noahides, another issue would be whether Christians are considered [[Chasidei Umos HaOlam]] or [[Chochmei Umos HaOlam]]. The former are considered to have a share in the world to come because they recognize [[Noahide Law]] as being revealed through mosaic tradition, the latter are not considered to have a share in the world to come because the follow [[Noahide Law]] based on intellectual expediency.
===Forbidden===
The strict view, typified by [[Maimonides]], is that Christian theology is considered ''avodah zarah'' (loosely translated as "idolatry") for all people, both Jew and non-Jew, as it subscribes to the Trinity. Therefore most Christians could not be considered Noahides. However, [[Unitarian]] Christians and other followers of Jesus who do not believe that Jesus is a deity would still be considered Noahides.
Maimonides was clearly of the opinion that Christianity was idolatry.
The position of the Tosafists is complex. It is generally held that the Tosafists, particularly the Ri and possibly also Rabbeinu Tam, considered Christian belief to be "the partnering of the Name of Heaven with something else", and that as Noachides (i.e. non-Jews) are not forbidden to engage in such partnering; Christian belief and worship is permitted for non-Jews, and it is permitted for Jews to cause them to actively express that belief or engage in such worship. However, this judgement is not followed through in other areas. It seems from the words of Tosafot to Bechorot 2a and Sanhedrin 63b that their comments are limited to the case of oathtaking, i.e. partnering the Name of Heaven with something else while taking an oath. The halachic context would not be the prohibitions against idolatrous worship but rather the prohibition "Let them not be heard as a result of you", which would be understood as "let them not be heard as the exclusive guarantors of an oath as a result of you. Several great acharonim, including Shaar Efraim, Noda B'Yehudah, Meil Tzedakah, Olat Tamid, and Chazon Ish, understood Tosafot in this fashion. Some of them also interpreted Ramo, who cites Tosafot, the same way. But there are also those, including Shach and Seder Mishnah, who read Tosafot broadly, as referring to all prohibitions associated with Christian faith. But according to either reading of Tosafot, Jews holding Christian beliefs are violating avodah zarah prohibitions. Even Meiri, who assigns Noachides "bound by the ways of religion" (which presumptively includes Christians) a status equivalent to Jews for several legal purposes, probably believes that they are nonetheless worshipers of avodah zarah
In general Jewish law follows Tosafos and rules that Christian theology is only considered ''avodah zarah'' for Jews, but it is permissible for gentiles. The [[Tosafist]] (early Talmud commentators) [[Rabbeinu Tam|Rabbi Jacob Tam]] ([[Rashi]]'s grandson), in Bekhorot 2b and Sanhedrin 63b, ruled that trinitarianism could be permitted to gentiles as a form of ''shittuf'' ("association"). This view was echoed by Rabbi Isaac ben Sheshet (''Rivash'', responsa 119) and accepted by Rabbi [[Moses Isserles]] (''Rema'', Orah Hayyim 156:1.). However, no Jewish source allows the worship through any form of ''shittuf''; rather, all worship must be directed to the one and only Creator. In this view Christian theology is not forbidden to gentiles, and all Christians are Noahides.

[[Jubilees]], part of the [[Ethiopian Orthodox]] Bible, generally considered to be a 2nd century BCE Jewish [[apocrypha]], [http://wesley.nnu.edu/biblical_studies/noncanon/ot/pseudo/jubilee.htm Chapter 7, verses 20-33] states: "And in the twenty-eighth [[Jubilee (Biblical)|jubilee]] [1324-1372 [[Anno Mundi|A.M.]]] Noah began to enjoin upon his sons' sons the ordinances and commandments, and all the judgments that he knew, and he exhorted his sons to observe righteousness, and to cover the shame of their flesh, and to bless their Creator, and honour father and mother, and love their neighbour, and guard their souls from fornication and uncleanness and all iniquity. For owing to these three things came the flood upon the earth ... For whoso sheddeth man's blood, and whoso eateth the blood of any flesh, shall all be destroyed from the earth."
