    How can the word ἄφεμα have 3 meanings per this word study in Logos? 

    The same way the word go in English has 27 or so meanings. However, what you are showing is different TRANSLATIONS not different SENSES (meanings) so your question does not match the data. Even a single meaning may have multiple translations as different English words overlap the Greek word but it is uncommon to have an exact match. The English word whose overlap covers the most important part of the meaning is context dependent.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
