There is much wisdom in the Old Testament, but Christ fulfilled the Law. We're not Jews+Jesus, and the Lord said that Justice is His.

[[book:: bible | Romans 12:18-20 | DRA]]

The Church has our own way of dealing with people living in egregious sin and refusing to reform, or at least make an earnest attempt to avoid scandal.

Hint: it's not capital punishment.

Absolutely. We aren’t a theocracy. By being a part of Israel, they were under many special laws. Saying we should kill sinners directly goes against Paul in 1 Corinthians 5 where he says we shouldn’t judge those outside the church for sexual immorality. Of course they will be immoral. Never does the New Testament advocate that we should root for these sorts of laws.
