Yes, this is true.
The Saturday Sabbath is still required! That law was never changed by the Father. The RCC changed it to Sunday, which is adding to and diminishing from His WORD.
This Sabbath is mention over 85 times in the new testament. All the apostles kept it. It is the 7th day of the week.
But back in the Old, there were death penalties one would have to face in their life. For the Old Testament prescribes the death penalty for the following activities, among others:
- Murder[13]
- Adultery[13]
- Bestiality[14]
- Rape[15]
- Sodomy [16]
- One man picked up sticks on the Sabbath, he was taken into custody because a punishment was not known. The LORD told Moses that the man in custody must be killed. This particular crime and punishment is isolated case law.(Numbers 15:32–36) (The Saturday Sabbath Command is a ceremonial law that has not been repeated within the New Covenant).
- The man and woman when a man meets a betrothed woman in town and sleeps with her. But if it is a case of rape where out in the country she called for help and no one heard, the death penalty only applies to the man[17]
- A woman who is found not to have been a virgin on the night of her wedding[18]
- Worshiping other gods[19][20]
- Witchcraft (Exodus 22:18)
- Taking the LORD's name in vain or cursing his name[21]
- Cursing a parent[22][23][24]
- Kidnapping[25]
- Disobeying a parent[26]
- Lying in certain cases (See this link here).

But in the New Testament, we have God's grace to repent (i.e. to confess and forsake these sins). Not as a means to have a license to sin, but as a means to overcome it (By the Lord's power and help). But yes, there is the destruction of one's soul in the Lake of Fire (Whether they are a believer or not) if they break certain moral laws and do not repent of them before they die.
