This may be true, however, the particular strand of discussion I've been following is based on the idea Eru was involved.

Regarding this issue, the debate over whether Eru was or was not involved is irrelevant.
It seems to me that the discussion had become broader - an examination of Eru's relation with the Christian God. But I take your point.

To me this sounds like you are agreeing that Eru had something to do with it because you have to concede that he was involved in the destruction of Numenor and that is certainly an event at a point in time in Arda.
You misread me. I mean that Eru was not any more involved with the incident at Mt. Doom than he was with any arbitrary event in Arda. That is, I tend to think that he was only involved with Gollum's death insofar as he was involved with everything. I honestly don't see much concrete evidence for his involvement with that particular episode.
