And even if the Lion Turtle did mean to imply that anyone bending-prone could Energybend before Elementbending came into being (and its wording did make it sound like that was its intention), that doesn't mean it's possible for everyone to Energybend after Elementbending came into being. For all we know, the Avatar Spirit's arrival in the world might have initiated the parceling off of all bending into four elements, and locked them from being expanded into anything more or reaching back to the original source - except by itself, for the very reason that it had closed them off.
