A -> B

Therefore A <->B.
It's not circular reasoning. It's that both imply one another.
If there existed a child, there existed a parent.
If there existed a parent, there existed a child.
That's a double implication in the definition of child and parent.
The same can be true of morality because of it's relationship to God as the source.
child <-> parent isn't an implication or a mutually supporting idea. It's a definition of those terms. "Parent" means "someone with a child" and "child" means "someone with a parent."
If you define morality as "whatever God wants us to do," then God, if real, proves the existence of morals. But that would be a poor definition of morality.
If you define God as "whoever/whatever made morals possible," then morals, if real, prove the existence of God. But that would be a poor definition of God.
