'If Elias had died instead of being spirited to heaven, he would not have been able to return."

I assume you are referring to the Tranfiguration. Of course, such evidence to support your contention would seem problematic. First, because both Elijah and Moses appeared at the Transfiguration -and the evidence clearly seems to indicate Moses died but returned- and second because you have no scripture indicating Elijah dies AFTER the Transfiguration.

Either this, or you are trying to argue John the Baptist was Elijah, which is clearly scriptural nonsense.

Or did you have another argument in mind.

I could not be referring to the transfiguration because if you knew scripture you would realize that scripture says this was a vision - not a visitation. Moses and elias were not there. And it is further puntuated by Christ correcting Peter when he started running on as you have.

Read your scriptures. They say that elias both would and did return. You need not argue it with me - your argument is with the Lord and the Apostles. When they make you a liar or show you uneducated in scripture, I have nothing whatever to do with it.
