“Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s, and unto God the things that are God’s”.

In this life Caesar has control of law, justice and punishment. God will recompense.

While I shed no tears for the abortionist who met a just end, and would relish the opportunity to be a juror at the shooter’s trial, you are correct. There are specific, Scriptural admonitions about obedience to the laws of man.

Only if God allows it.

So if the government where to legalize the killing of Christians then Christians should just render unto Caesar and willingly be murdered.

Not all Caesar acts are moral, ethical, just. The degree they are not is that degree to which they must be resisted. Rosa Parks knew this. After the deaths of thousands, perhaps 10's of thousands, of very nearly born humans it is clear that 'civil' civil disobedience wasn't working. Was the killer's name Roeder? If nothing else, Roeder moved the conversation to the front burner.
