But if that's true, then we have a problem when we come to Exodus 20:10-11, which you quoted.
Either way, old-earth creationists are going to hell. But since we True Christians™ are not going to hell (Titus 1:2), we can conclude that a literal week of seven 24-hour days is the only plausible interpretation.

That's really deep stuff, Brother Swallows. I'm not a good student of theology so my thinking is on a practical level.
For example, I'm a True Christian™ and know you are right we are not going to hell. Sometimes on a Sunday I feel like a good restaurant meal and want several choices. These restaurants and their employees need to be ready to serve me. That is important.
Now, a question might come up as to what happens to their souls when God notices they worked on Sunday? I don't know the answer on that. It is their problem not mine. But, if they are not open on Sunday they will face an angry Mayor.
