Nov 1, 2014 at 21:30 comment added Jason Baker @ulmo I assume you're talking about the shrine on Meneltarma, in Numenor. I agree the fact that the Men of Numenor attempting to contect Iluvatar is significant, so I'll add a mention

Nov 1, 2014 at 21:16 comment added a_a Regardless of if he spoke to them, they did in fact have a mountain temple devoted to Eru and so I think we can assume that they at least talked to him through prayer, worship, and/or sacrifice
Nov 1, 2014 at 13:14 comment added Shamshiel According to Finrod's conversation with Andreth in Morgoth's Ring - which was a later work and according to Christopher frequently cited with authority - Eru used to speak directly to Men until they fell. Presumably he still could, he just chooses not to.

Nov 1, 2014 at 9:51 comment added Daniel Roseman Not sure I agree with your characterization of Gollum's tripping as being an explicit intervention of Eru. That particular event was not any more or less an intervention than all the events leading up to it: Gollum's original losing of the ring, Bilbo accidentally finding it in the dark, and so on (as Gandalf says, Frodo was "meant to have it, and not by its maker"). Those events are all really part of "Providence", ie God/Eru arranging things so that the right outcome just happens, rather than directly intervening.
