Anathema and the doctrine of giving man the ability curse followers to hell?

[Free]

Hi,

This "church" I know has members who believe that their "Apostle" can anathema them (curse them to hell).

How can I explain that he cannot do that? There are people who are too afraid to leave because they think he will curse them even when they don't believe most of what he teaches.

Please watch the video for context and why they would be terrified of leaving. The video shows a section where this "Apostle" is threatening sending members to hell for disobedience and sin.

Please help me help them...

Oh wow! I'd be our of there in a heart beat. I do so feel for the people under him, he is a false prophet...or a false Christ, really! So, he thinks angels speak things into existence, and hence we can too. Boy does Satan have this guy in his grasp.
Prayers for all concerned brother. I take it the congregation do not read the scriptures for themselves or, they would find out quickly enough those things are not true. Is this a very large congregation? If not, perhaps you might have a letter written up with all the verses that totally demolish all this guy is telling them, and find a way to give a letter to each of them somehow? Like maybe when they are filing out after the "services". Just a thought. Prayers for God to intervene.
