This means there are issues for both parties (those who trust the Bible and those who don't) with respect to how these things are defined and ontologically grounded which, without reflection, can lead to circular reasoning.
So you do understand how many if not all christian arguments use circular reasoning? What is it exactly we should be reflecting on to see that it is not circular reasoning?
I'm not trying to be smart I genuinely would like to hear what you have to say on this.
