Let's address the concept of a tangible God and the homoousias and homoiousias discussions.

It was not a Greek problem but a problem of the reconcilers, which existed in the Church from early on, probably starting with the Jews. To pin theological errors upon Greek culture is misleading IMHO.
that matter is bad is a neoplatonic import.
