lindil has just left Hobbiton.
By and large I agree Iarwain, and welcome to the Downs Tuor.

However, I would nitpick the following:
Quote:
it seems to me that within M-E, Arda, Ea, etc. Eru is both omnipotent and omniscient, and existence as a whole is within his sphere of influence
Eru is not or perhaps it would be better to say that He rarely exercises omnipotence over the freewill of his children.

I rather imagine you already agree with this but I just wanted to underscore it.
