One must realize when God set up his nation, He wanted to be their king, (unlike other nations who had men as kings) He did eventually allow Israel to heave her own king, they chose saul, but this was not yet.
In setting up this nation, he made rules and regulations (laws) which were to guide this nation. Some laws if broken, had lesser consequences. Other laws, if broken, brought the death penalty (such as witchcraft) This was a national law, and the national justice system was set up by God.
We are not Israel, nor does our federal laws state that witches are to be executed. Nor do we follow jewish law as given by Christ. Thus to kill your friends would be against our federal law, Against what God wants from the church and those in the church (who are told to obey civil authority and their laws) and could get you the death penalty for murder.
