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).
Another consideration would be that even if Christians were are considered at least partially observant Noahides, whether Christians are considered they [[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 (rabbinic) tradition, the latter are not considered to have a share in the world to come because 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.
A [[The Noahide Oath#Jerusalem Court for Bnei Noah|recent ruling]] by the [[Jerusalem Court for Bnei Noah]] has ruled that it will not allow people from a Christian background to take the [[The Noahide Pledge]] if they believe that Jesus was Messiah. However they state that this is based on procedural and not halachic considerationsof Jewish law. They state that another court may accept the Noahide pledge from such a person and it may be completely valid.
