Let us learn from history.
Why was Galileo imprisoned by the Catholic Church?
Because he was using a new frame of reference in which the Earth moved round the Sun.
The Church was using the frame of reference in which the Sun moved round the Earth.
How could Galileo have done better?
He could have explained how to translate easily between the two frames of references.
When you explain things to Christians, you have to use this frame of reference:
That the Bible is absolute truth.
Christians are very forgiving. They will forgive themselves for selectively not taking certain parts of the Bible as absolute truth.
Now, deeply learning from Galileo, we need to explain how ethical principles can be translated easily into the frame of reference in which the Bible is taken as absolute truth.
