I think that Lal has an interesting point there: Eru and YHVH seem to be similar in some aspects but in the end they are from two different places. I have, however, always through of Eru as not so much a silent character in that he does nothing, but more that he does stuff but doesnt say anything. Bilbo finding the Ring, Smeagol falling over the crack of Doom, Bilbo's Birthday cake not exploding*, that kind of stuff could be argued as the silent acts of Eru. (We could go into long detail about these, but let's not).
*Sorry, I liked the idea.
