Topical Encyclopedia The term "whoremonger" is traditionally used to describe a person who engages in sexual immorality, particularly one who frequents prostitutes or is involved in illicit sexual activities. In the context of the Bible, whoremongering is condemned as a sin and is often associated with other forms of moral corruption and idolatry.Scriptural References: 1. Ephesians 5:5 : "For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure, or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God." This verse categorically states that those who engage in immorality, including whoremongering, are excluded from the kingdom of God. The association with idolatry underscores the gravity of the sin. 2. Hebrews 13:4 : "Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers." Here, the sanctity of marriage is emphasized, and whoremongers, as violators of this sanctity, are warned of divine judgment. 3. Revelation 21:8 : "But to the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and sexually immoral, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death." This passage lists whoremongers among those who will face eternal punishment, highlighting the severe consequences of such behavior. 4. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 : "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God." The apostle Paul includes whoremongers in a list of those who will not inherit God's kingdom, emphasizing the need for repentance and transformation. 5. Galatians 5:19-21 : "The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." Whoremongering is identified as a work of the flesh, incompatible with the life led by the Spirit. 6. Proverbs 6:32 : "But he who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself." Although this verse specifically mentions adultery, it applies to whoremongering as well, illustrating the self-destructive nature of sexual immorality. 7. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 : "For it is God’s will that you should be holy: You must abstain from sexual immorality; each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God." This passage calls believers to a life of holiness, contrasting the behavior of whoremongers with the sanctified life expected of Christians. The Bible consistently portrays whoremongering as a serious sin, incompatible with the life of a believer. It is often linked with other forms of moral and spiritual corruption, and those who engage in such practices are warned of the dire consequences both in this life and the next.
