Is Eru God?

[Gothmog]

burrahobbit:

You do realize that equivalent means "the same as"? Right? Is equal to?

Due to my lack of skill in English, this might have come out wrong. But according to my dictionary (I checked) equivalent is translated likvärdig/motsvarighet which can be meaning both equal to and (this is hard to explain!) corresponding to. I might have used the word in a way not intended, but what I meant to say is that Eru has become the correspondence to God in ME, but not God. Eru can be compared with God as they are both the Creator of "their" world and the highest power, but they're not the same. Hope that cleared things up and sorry for confusing you with my inferior language proficiency.
