A substance is physical/matter

Wrong. That is not what the Gk ousia, which is the word rendered in English as "substance", means. Not even close! Since you're not even going to take the time to get the basic terminology right, I'm not going to waste any more time on you.

So it has to be 3 divine persons in 1 divine person...

Heresy always leads to nonsense like this. Repent, embrace the Gospel, and become a Christian.

what one has, i.e. property, possessions, estate

I don't think that's the word you want it to be...

And look at the desperate attempt Here to try to fit the word into something that means what you guys want it to mean...It's tortured up and down the line of history...Apparently this is where you come up with your fractured meaning...

Ousia isn't even used in the scriptures except to denote personal possessions...

I don't blame you for running out on any discussion of Ousia and substance...
