Where does it say anything about cell and plant death before the Fall - much less the death of animals and humans (or would it be hominids or some such drivel?)?

I said that this kind of compromise in doctrine is not acceptable.
Ideally, there should be no one who so compromises correct doctrine - because the Bible is very clear that the truth is otherwise.
Because of liberal compromise with the ideas of the world there are indeed those who believe T.E.
That is unacceptable to God IMO.
I didn't make a mistake. People who compromised by believing T.E. make the mistake.
Some compromise on a number of doctrines. Those things include such things as abortion and homosexuality.
Those compromisers are in my terminology "liberals". They bring the plain words from God's word into line with what the world teaches. They may do this to fit in. They may do it because they believe that the world's view is more correct than the plain teaching of God's Word.
Either way it is liberalism running amuck in the Church of God IMO.
T.E. and other compromises with the evolutionary thought of the world is just the same. It is liberalism on display in Christ's body and it ought not to be.

Spiritual death, to be sure. But not physical death. That would be absurd since, even in the literal reading, there was cell death and plant death before the Fall.

So... logically, there shouldn't be any Bible-believing TEs. And yet there are! You've made a mistake, somewhere.
