Very nice points, Joy. Though text from the Bible cant be used to prove points in Tolkiens canon, it is interesting to see the similarities. And let me say, that for only having read The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings you are very knowledgable.

I just wanted to point out though, that when you said Glorfindel showed Sam her ring, you really mean Galadriel. The names are easy to get mixed up sometimes. Glorfindel was an Elf Lord (male) that lived in the house of Imladris (Rivendell). Galadriel was the Lady of The Wood (Lorien) who held one of the Elven Rings like you said.
