Few adherents to the Christian sects do any 'study' of the Scripture, let alone the birth of traditional concepts they ascribe to. It would seem that yes, the first 'apostasy' instigated by Cush and led by his son Nimrod, is the beginning of the trinitarian beliefs of many religions (post Tower of Babel incident). It seems to have begun in Babylon, and for westerners, it went to Egypt, incorporated into the Greek and Roman cultures and their primary religous organizations.
Though it is nowhere to be found in the biblical Scriptures, many do take some verses to 'prove' this man-made concept. But almost all Commentaries discussing these will usually put the matter in its proper context and belay any association to a 3 person Godhead.
The important thing to remember is that Satan has had 6,000 years from the Garden of Eden to the present time to learn about God's Plan in ever-greater detail and create other religions to specifically counterfeit particular Jewish and Christian beliefs.
Shortly after the Flood began the long list of false human gods starting with Cush (Bel evolves into Baal), Nimrod (Mithra and a plethora of other titles, and the imfamous Seriramis who too has many god titles like Isis, etc. There are many and various extra-biblical accounts that seem to make Christianity be derived from earlier religions because Satan knows God's plan and has had thousands of years advance notice to copy it and to deceive people.

Why are the Noachide Laws important?
In short, the Noachide Laws provided the gentile nations with a moral code. The importance being that adherents to the law were regarded as righteous and assured a place in the world to come.
Will I go to hell if I can't believe in Christianity?
That depends on who you ask. Ask many Christians, and they will say certainly, because they hold that belief in Jesus is essential to salvation. Ask a Jew, and they will say that there is a place in the world to come for the righteous of all nations, and that non-Jews are held to only the 7 commandments of the Noachide covenant. Ask a Buddhist, and they will say that you will be reincarnated in a better state if you act morally, and in a worse state if you act badly, and if you achieve enlightment, you can enter nirvana and get off the wheel of repeated reincarnation.
Should Christians follow the laws in the Torah?
The Torah only requires Jews to follow the law of the Torah. According to Judaism non-Jews are obligated to follow just the 7 Noachide laws which are described at http://www.answers.com/topic/seven-laws-of-noah
How are mosaic laws different from Ten Commandments?
Jewish tradition identifies 613 distinct commandments in the Torah, all of which tradition holds were given to Moses on Mt. Sinai. In the Jewish tradition, what Christians call the ten commandments are called the 10 statements because not all of them have the form of commandents. Jews consider themselves to be bound by the 613 commandments, while they consider non-Jews to be bound only by the 7 commandments of the Noachide covenant (the covenant of the Rainbow) discussed in the book of Genesis at the end of the story of Noah.
Does Judaism encourage freedom of religion?
Yes. Judaism encourages freedom of religion. Judaism is against proselyting and only reluctantly accepts converts, after making sure they have no ulterior motives. Judaism believes all of mankind should keep the seven Noachide laws, but otherwise can keep any religion they wish.
Why does Judaism not seek converts unlike other religions?
There are 3 reasons: First, Jewish tradition does not say you have to be a Jew to be saved or to go to heaven. The traditional Jewish view on this was stated by a Medieval rabbi as "there is a place in the world to come for the righteous of all nations." As a result, there is no moral obligation to convert people, only to help them be good. Second, being a Jew is hard. Jewish tradition holds that all of humanity is bound by the Noachide covenant, the one God made with Noah after the flood. The terms of this covenant are inferred from the list of reasons given in Genesis for the flood. Jewish tradition holds that there are only 7 "Noachide commandments." In contrast, Jewish tradition counts 613 commandments in the Torah that apply to Jews. Judaism considers any religion that teaches the 7 Noachide commandments to be a legitimate path to righteousness. Third, being a Jew is dangerous. Today, there are still antisemites who want to kill Jews. Today, conversion to Judaism is still a capital offense in Saudi Arabia, and it was a capital offence just about everywhere in the entire Muslim and Christian world not that long ago. So, Jews have an obligation to warn potential converts that they are taking a risk.
What Jewish feels about other monotheistic faiths?
Judaism teaches that "the righteous of all the nations have a place in the world to come." Specifically, the Jewish tradition holds that all of the descendants of Noah are held to the terms of the Noachide Covenant, the covenant that the Book of Genesis says was signified by the rainbow after the flood. Reading the story of the flood, including the sins the Bible mentions as the reason for the flood, Jews infer that this covenant has 7 basic commandments. Six are negative: No idolatry, no blasphemy, no murder, no sexual immorality, and no stealing, and don't eat flesh torn from a living animal. One is positive: Establish courts of justice. Any religion that teaches these basic ideas is seen as legitimate. By the year 1200, Jews generally held that Islam was OK. Arguments about Christianity continue to this day because Christians create problems with the doctrine of the Incarnation, with the cult of the Virgin, and with the adoration of saints (these aspects of Christianity also bother Muslims). Nonetheless, by around 1400, Jews concluded that Christians should not be considered to be idolators for purposes of commerce.
Does the Jews being referenced to as the chosen people have anything with riches?
What riches? There are poor Jews, middle class Jews, upper class Jews, just like there are with ALL PEOPLE. Chosen people refers to being chosen to obey the 613 commandments of the Torah, like keeping kosher and observing the shabbat. Non-Jews have commandments too, and their own covenant with G-d. They are supposed to observe the Noachide laws.
What statement describes the Jewish ten commandments?
There are two slightly different versions of the 10 commandments, one in Exodus, one in Deuteronomy. Jews generally refer to the 10 statements, since some of the statements are not in the form of commandments. The 2 versions of the 10 commandments differ in whether we are commanded to keep the Sabbath or to Remember it. Jews believe that the 10 commandments are only binding on Jews, while the 7 Noachide commandments are binding on all mankind.
How would a Jew say a person gets to heaven?
It depends whether that person is a Jew or a Gentile (Non-Jew). If they are a gentile then they just have to obey the 7 commandments to the Sons of Noah (aka the Noachide laws), which are; Refrain from idolatry Refrain from murder Refrain from theft Refrain from Sexual immorality Refrain from blasphemy Do not eat the flesh of an animal while it is still alive Establish courts of law If they are a Jew then they have to follow the 613 Mitzvot... that's pretty hard!
Should I avoid eating pork as mentioned in Leviticus 11?
Are you Jewish? Yes. Are you Christian but not Jewish? No. Christianity bases its food rules on the prophesy that in the time of the Messiah, all peoples will worship the one God. Those prophesies presume that Jews will still be bound by the Jewish food laws, but they consider non Jews only to be bound by the food laws of the Noachide covenant. So please, don't go tearing limbs off of living animals for food, and don't drink blood, but Pork is just fine, as is shrimp, eel, rabbit and other foods prohibited to Jews.
What are Noahide prophets?
Noahide prophets are The Seven Laws of Noah (Hebrew: שבע מצוות בני נח‎ Sheva mitzvot B'nei Noach), often referred to as the Noahide Laws or Noachide Code, are a set of seven moral imperatives that, according to the Talmud, were given by God to Noah as a binding set of laws for all mankind.[1] According to Judaism any non-Jew who lives according to these laws is regarded as a Righteous Gentile and is assured of a place in the world to come (Olam Haba), the Jewish concept of heaven.[2] Adherents are often called "B'nei Noach" (Children of Noah) or "Noahides" and may often network in Jewish synagogues.
