What are and how serious are “whoredoms” in the Book of Mormon?

Thomas R. Valletta

Book of Mormon prophets frequently referred to immorality, infidelity, adultery, and all other promiscuous sins among the people as whoredoms. President Joseph F. Smith noted the danger of these sins in our lives: “We believe in one standard of morality for men and women. If purity of life is neglected, all other dangers set in upon us like the rivers of waters when the flood gates are opened” (Gospel Doctrine, 313).
