Definition: The term "amphogenous" comes from Greek, meaning "living." It means that something is capable of living or flourishing; it can grow or exist without being actively managed, unlike a dead plant or animal. In the Bible, this term occurs in verse 16: "And he said to them, 'Do not fear him, for I am with you. You shall never see such as these.'" So, when "amphogenous" refers to a living thing, it implies that the thing is able to grow and exist without needing supervision or intervention by humans. This is in contrast to "dead," which means something that has not been living since its creation (which might refer to an event like death).
