Hi my question is my Lebanese cucumber vine is growing out of control on the ground if I cut half of the vine will it kill the whole plant?

Should be fine. Mine keeps growing more heads and I cut them off all the time to discourage growth. Be mindful you don't the important stems though. Personally I have mine growing out of a DIY pine box with 5 in 1 bsoil up a fly screen frame.
