Exactly. If you say that Eru is God, then they will be alike in every single aspect. Meaning that just one difference eleminates the equality and makes Eru not God.
But, on the same note, I believe that Eru is like God. When I think about what Eru does, I am thinking of what God would do. So they are very similar in many respects, but the fact that they are different in even the minutest detail makes the answer no.
I don't know if I explained that very well.
Eru is God: Impossible.
Eru is like God: Definite.
