I like to think of Eru as Tolkien himself... He created beings from his own conscious and created a 'world' or universe... Maybe Eru is really just an artist creating things for no reason other than it feels good for him to do so? I think that maybe if he is viewed as some kind of Deity things become a little too complicated...We start to ask all these questions, like is he responsible for this? And did he have a hand in this? Why did he will this to happen? And then we start to think of all the moral implications, is he a murderer? And such like. If we call him and artist it's much easier to say that everything is his creation and it is as if he is the author writing a novel, so everything happened that way just because it seemed good to him for it to do so.

I think that Gollum slipped. Obviously if Eru is the author of the Middle-Earth novel than he also willed it, but primarily in my opinion, Gollum slipped and that's all there is to it.
