In luke 15:13 , it is clear that "ousia" means "possessions ". However if i 
apply the meaning Aristotle uses , it would means substance.
 My question is , why does it word has differents meanings ?.
If i apply the philosophical meaning , the text would be read : "....his 
substance...".
 The question is important to know , how can i understand the latin term 
"substantia" used for Tertulian in Adversus Praxeam.
I don´t know , if Tertulian used the Biblical meaning or the philosophical 
meaning of ousia.
 Best Regards
