{f you were born BEFORE Jesus came and a Jew was caught working on the sabbath and in this scenario your job in your village was to carry out punishments for crimes like this, would you obey God and kill this person? Remember, this is BEFORE Jesus came and in this scenario you are under the law of Moses and God is quoted in the Bible as saying that people who work on the sabbath should die. I know the reason why people say we no longer kill people for this, but why did it USE to be okay? Anyways, would you kill that person?"]
I would do whatever God said to do because it's foolishness to rebel against the Almighty God of Heaven. If God said someone had to die and I was the one charged with doing it then I would do it no matter what I thought and even if the person was my best friend or my relative whom I loved.
You can't fight God and win. All you can do is disobey Him and end up on the casualty list. At most I would try and intercede for the person in prayer and hope that God would be merciful and spare their life, but if not then me not killing them wouldn't save them it would just put me in the place where I would have to fear for my own life.
