Full Idea
Choosing the objective way enters upon the entire approximation-process by which it is proposed to bring God to light objectively. But this is in all eternity impossible, because God is a subject, and therefore exist only for subjectivity in inwardness.
Gist of Idea
God cannot be demonstrated objectively, because God is a subject, only existing inwardly
