DaveH wote: If you do not believe the restitution of all things has anything to so with the LDS but you do believe it applies to something/someone else....then to whom do you believe restitution of all things has to do?
DaveH cited: Mal 4: 5-6 & Mt 17:10-13 & Acts 3:19-21 & Rev 14:6-7
I have not studied Elijah's role in restoring all things, but the Acts reference refers to the second coming of Christ, when He will restore things. It is NOT JS pulling the wool over the eyes of the spiritually hungry and vulnerable people of his day.
However, the point is that there is no logical connection between the verses you quote and the supposed LDS restoration. It is just a convenient verse to latch onto as a prooftext. I can think of many other verses that have nothing whatsoever to do with the LDS, but the LDS latch onto them for convenience sake and ride them hard as prooftexts.
There is NEVER any biblical or external evidence that they mean what the LDS say they do. It is all circumstancial and convenient to use them. Read Hugh Nibley if you want to see great leaps and stretches in scripture twisting. He is a great story teller, and can stretch a tale all the way from Judah to Salt Lake City.
By the way, Jesus said that if your mule fell into a pit on the sabbath you would pull it out, so that is proof that Alice in Wonderland was true! She followed (fell) a rabbit (mule) into a hole (pit) to "pull it out"! The symbolism is all in place, so it must be true!
