Yes, but if that certain someone is imaginary, there's luckily not as much damage in the end.

Yes, of course it's an abusive relationship! You are an individual, your own person, he has no right to tell you who you can/cant talk to or where you can go. Seriously, if I were you, I would break up with him. Straight away. He doesn't own you, and dont you dare feel guilty. You havent done anything wrong. A boyfriend is someone who cares for you and looks after you, gazes into your eyes and only has sex with you if you're 100 percent sure you want to. He's horrible, break up with him. Now. And go and find yourself the perfect boy you deserve.

With so little info. it is hard to answer you, but I am sure this relationship is unhealthy if this threat is even spoken. Emotional threats are abusive. Love is free to come or go. When it isn't free it is not love anymore.
The person being threatened needs to seek help and get some backing from others to help in getting away from someone who threatens to hurt them.
edit: I see your question isn't what I thought it was. Human side of things both people are equal. God is different. He made us and therefore has certain rights over us. He doesn't choose to force us to love Him. You are free to reject Him. He doesn't abuse you for that. He just lets you go and do your own thing. When you die, you can't go to heaven cause you wouldn't want to be there, it is where all the Christians and God will be having a huge party. It is not abusive, you were invited to this party years before the party happens and if you throw down the invite, then don't be upset if you spend time somewhere else than where God and the party are! God is full of love and kindness. I find your question offensive now that I know you are implying lies about God.

If you are talking about a human relationship, yes. If you're talking about GOD, technically that's a no. GOD'S punishment would apply more to those who believe, yet have rebelled against GOD and his words and laws and die in their sins. Some have described hell as the torment of being forever denied the presence of GOD after death. Punishment enough. But those who have tried to live a compassionate life and keep to certain ideals of human morality and caring but yet still does not understand how to relate to GOD which also includes those who are mentally ill or incapacitated by some other ailment, I believe they get to go to heaven by default. And to tell you the truth, if some of these people in the U.S. who use their power to work evil against their fellow citizens are going to heaven, I don't want to go there. But I figure if they are there, it's gonna be hades anyway and NOT heaven. Seems rather complicated doesn't it? You're not alone. Many Christians don't understand alot of this stuff either. That's why they have so many meetings...

Yes. ANY threats indicate an abusive spirit. Threats to hurt themselves (I'd commit suicide if you left me), threats to hurt you (I'll hurt you if you leave me) or threats to hurt others (I'd hurt your family if you left me) should be taken seriously. Even if it seems harmless now, it can develop into emotional control, which isn't healthy, and can be extremely detrimental to your own mental and emotional health.

Yes, but Christians work around that by saying it's not their god doing the hurting, or that it's okay because it's god, and he's not actually responsible for anything. The responsibility is placed on the victim.

Yes.
If you're a christian, you are in an abusive relationship.
God: Love me, or I will send you to hell and you will suffer eternally.
Abusive spouse: Love me, or I will hurt you.
Hm.

No, silly, that's exactly what a relationship with a control freak is supposed to be like.

I get the context, and you're right. That's another reason I am atheist.

Yep.
And parents who would let their children end up in terrible places under any circumstances where they could stop it happening would probably be considered abusive as well.
