To: Hebrews 11:6
Other Scriptures add that where there is a conflict between their civil law and God's law, then that is an inherently un-good law, and we must instead obey God's law.

Scripture admonishes to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. Did Caesar give us the herbs of the field or fruits of the vine and orchard?

Romans 13 says Caesar gets to decide what to do with them.

When Jesus pointed to Caesar's image on the coin that the Romans demanded for taxes, Jesus was clearly pointing out that paying taxes to Caesar (who claimed to be God) was a violation of the 1st Commandment (no false gods) and a violation of the 2nd Commandment (no graven images of false Gods). Clearly, a false god calling himself "the State" has NOTHING coming to him.

Jesus was a tax-resisting anti-statist. And that's why they killed him.

To Heb 11.6: Did Caesar give us the herbs of the field or fruits of the vine and orchard?

Good question. Anything that the State gives anybody, it must first steal from somebody else. I like your responses to Heb 11.6. But you're probably not going to get too far with people who dismiss the record of the life of Jesus in favor of Paul's letters which they believe command us to obey any 2 bit thug that calls himself "the government" or "the state."
