Have a large Cedar tree and it has a large root that has grown out
which is 6 feet from the tree and is creating another stump in the
yard. Can one cut out this stump from the root without killing the
tree?

If you mean a shoot has sprouted from a surface traveler root, just mow it
down. If that is not what you mean, please define "stump" as used in your
post.
