Difference between both is that prostitution involves money automatically while fornication may involve money too but its not compulsory.

They both entail sleeping around.

Fornication is sexual sin between unmarried couples.
Prostitution is also fornication because it is sex with unmarried couples.

Sexual relations between two unmarried adults ~ Fornication
Sexual relations based on material or gain ~ Prostitution.

Fornicators enjoy mating finds it difficult to control the urge.

The prostitute in some cases may not like it but engages in the act due to the condition he/she finds himself/herself.

Op, I don't know the reason you re asking grin grin but for the record, they re both very deadly sin cause it's against your flesh.

Fornication is intimacy between two or more unmarried fellows. While,
Prostitution is when a man or woman sells sex for money. The man or woman might be married but once you re known as someone who gives sex in exchange for money, you automatically become a prostitute. Hope my reply was enlightening.

I asked because I learnt somewhere that the origin of the word 'fornication' means prostitution.
Then the passage that says 'marriage is honourable in all, when the bed is undefiled' is talking about Adultery and Prostitution which is different from sex before marriage.

They re not one and the same. Maybe you re misinterpreting the context from where you learnt it from.

Fornication is premarital sex.

There is no difference between fornication and prostitution.

A lot of girls that sleep with their boyfriends for money are no different from prostitutes who collect a fee for their bodies.

So, do you know about the concept of fornication and where the word was gotten from?

From my research, the word is even not related to anything concerning sex. According to encyclopedia, it was derived from the latin word fornix which means archway; the vaulted arches of churches which are called fornication. The term gained its sexual connotation because prostitutes in Rome often solicited business from the archways of buildings. I now understand where u re getting to smiley some of this English words re sometimes ambiguous and that's why we have adultery to remove this ambiguity.

Great discovery,but you do know that Adultery is different from Fornication,I mean according to the meaning most churches give them.
I used to think fornication is the same as sex
before marriage. Since, someone opened my eyes to the concept of Fornication,I have had doubts.
If the person is right,I keep wondering why the church missed out on that.

From a religious point of view, they where all called sexual immorality. They are all sin of the flesh and like everything else, humans tried to distinguish them by giving different names. For example gay and lesbian,the re both same only that when its btw 2 males, it's a gay relationship and so on.
