The typical way I handle this is to ask my interlocutor if believers are big on stoning to death disobedient children. After the obvious answer I then point out that the standard of good and evil for believers is also extra biblical. No amount of goal post shifting or obfuscation can avoid this conclusion.
You’ll have to be more specific.
Believers don't follow all the moral edicts written in the Bible; therefore, the standard of good and evil is outside the Bible.
