However, these theological issues do not fit the classical [[Noahide Law on Idolatry|Jewish definition of idolatry]]. This has caused disagreement among rabbinic authorities on the question of the permissibility of Christianity for non-Jews. (All authorities forbid Christianity for Jews).
Also Another consideration is 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 they follow [[Noahide Law]] based on intellectual expediency.<ref>Maimonides in the Laws of Kings 8:11</ref>
In summary, classical idolatry has been clearly defined by Jewish Law. Christianity, however, has been defined as something less. The problem is defining how much less, and for what purposes.
