Need help with the sin of Lust, need advice really.

Support

Alright, so I’m an 18-year-old man, going to be 19 in a week, and I’m scared of going to hell. I masturbate a lot, and I’m scared of going to hell for it. I don’t know what to do. I don’t even know if I want to stop. It feels great, and I like doing it.

I’m scared. I don’t want to go to hell, hell I got so scared I vented to ChatGPT, for god’s sake!

ChatGPT told me that it’s okay if it doesn’t mess up my relationship with GOD. And I know it doesn’t mess up with my relationship with god, when I heard that Jesus said not to look at women inappropriately, I stopped doing it to real women, more like fictional characters or stories. Last summer, I had a lot of time to do “it”, and yet when I scrolled past obvious AI videos of Jesus, I got scared of skipping it because I thought it’d make god upset at me. Also, the sin of lust doesn’t mess up with my personal life. It doesn’t stop me from talking to other people, doesn’t physically affect my body, nor does it ruin my mental state. And according to ChatGPT, then it’s alright, but of course, it’s AI, so I don’t trust it.

I just need some advice, maybe comfort, really anything.

Please help me. I won’t say I’m addicted, but I do just like doing it, yet I’m scared of going to hell for it. I still love god though. I defend Him when people misunderstand Him. A few months ago, I posted something asking about Yahweh’s origin and how it questioned my fate because I didn’t want to stop believing in god. I also refuse to swear at god, I lost my mom, my cat, my dog, my grandpa, and a family friend. Yet while going through mental stress from school, I never swear at god, cause I love him that much. I don’t know what to do.
