Who is allowed to carry out God's will?

The Bible says that killing is one of the deadly sins. They can not be forgiven, it condemns the person who does it irreverible to hell.

The bible also commands that everyone who cursed mother or father or worked on a Sunday shall be put to death.

Maybe I overlooked it, but who is allowed to do it?

The Bible doesnt give the right of killing or ablsoution to a group of people and in the moment someone executes a person he commits a deadly sin and goes to hell.

Can anyone explain this paradox or did I really overlook the passage where its explained.

Update:

Thank you so far for the answers. Its great reading.

One add for the accuracy of reading

Any person who curseth his mother or father, must be killed. (Leviticus 20:9)

Kill anyone with a different religion. (Deuteronomy 17:2-7)

True Sabbath is Friday for the jews but it is the last day of creation (Sunday)

Can we say that this passage was meant for some people but not for us? Isnt that cherry picking?

I believe it is all bible or none.

    Many people believe that God will not forgive "big" sins, but that is not true. There is no sin that too big that can't forgive. "Small" sins, such as lying, are punishable by Hell.

    The bad news: We all have sinned (violated God's law) and fall short to the glory of God (Romans 3:23). God can not tolerate sin and will punish for it because of his holiness and justice (Isaiah 13:11). Which means that there is no one who is good, but God alone, and the wages of sin is death(Hell). (Romans 3:10-18, Romans 6:23)

    The good news: The good news is that God loved us so much that he sent his son to take the punishment for our sins, so who that whoever believes in him should not go to hell but have everlasting life (John 3:16). All you need to is repent from your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ. The moment you do that you will be forgiven from your sins and know and will be granted everlasting life into heaven. (Romans 10:13)

    Please think about this! You can die at any moment and youth is no guarantee of a long life!

    You need to be a lot more careful in your reading of Scripture.

    1. The Bible does not command everyone who curses mother and father to be put to death. The Bible commanded Israelites who were a legal party to the old covenant to do that.

    2. The Bible does not command everyone who worked on a Sunday to be put to death. The Bible commanded the Israelites to put to death anyone found working on the sabbath (not Sunday).

    wrong,the great apostle paul was a murderer,moses killed someone,david killed goliath.

    god bless
