How is your religion research going?
Let me know if you need help or need me to explain anything about any religions, I have spent many years studying most of them, well the Eastern religions and animism/shamanism are my strong points, so anyway feel free to ask if you have something you dont understand or whatnot.

well one thing I must ask that i did not get to before is well. Is christian simmilar to the beleive in the Valar Eru and such? is it the same or very much different?

The Noldor were the only ones who came close to a Christian viewpoint, but again their view was a panentheistic one which is the same as how the Native Americans viewed things (The Great Spirit) Its like a mix of a transcendental Creator figure with an animist view of things.
This is what the Noldor believed, the other elven groups and tribes tended to be a bit more shamanistic putting less emphasis on a Creator Godhead and more emphasis on the animism.
So its definitely not the same, though the closest I have seen in terms of panentheistic views in Christianity is in Easter Orthodox Christianity.
heres more info on Orthodoxy : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Orthodoxy
So as I said the closest to come to a Christian view would definitely be the Noldor.

I do know an Angel did teachme along with Christ himself is that God is in ALL things the rocks the trees the seas and skys because God created the world. And this is what I beleive in as well.

Yes that is a panentheistic Christian teaching, and as you know there are infinite variations of this teaching expressed in different ways among many indigenous cultures.
