Is Eru God? Please note that the question isn't, "Is Eru the god of Middle-Earth?" (he pretty clearly is) but, is Eru the Elvish name for God (Jehovah)?

The Silmarillion beginning makes it clear that Ea is
monotheistic, and the valar are essentially angelic
spirits, so Eru is God. Of course, being a
pre-Christian world Eru is a more generalized deity.

Given what you said,
Tuor, it sounds like you are agreeing that Eru was the god of Middle-Earth.
