Bonhoeffer is implying that a god who can be shown through human ways would not be a real divine being, as real divinity can not be comprehended or proven by mortal beings. This quote highlights the idea that faith and belief in a higher power should not be based on tangible proof, however rather on a much deeper, spiritual understanding.
