Circular reasoning (
Latin:
circulus in probando, "circle in proving"; also known as
circular logic) is a
logical fallacy in which the reasoner begins with what they are trying to end with.
[1] The components of a circular argument are often logically
valid because if the premises are true, the conclusion must be true.
Circular reasoning - Wikipedia
The evidence that God provides for His existence is Manifestations of God. That is not circular because I am not beginning with what I am trying to end with since the Manifestations of God are not God.
The evidence that Baha’u’llah was a Manifestation of God
is not that He claimed to be a Manifestation of God because that would be circular reasoning. The evidence is everything that indicates that He was a Manifestation of God.
There is no proof that He was a Manifestation of God, only evidence that indicates that. Nobody can ever prove that Baha’u’llah got communication from God; He and God are the only Ones who can know that for certain.
I have had two requests for evidence that Baha’u’llah was a Manifestation of God so I will be posting a new thread this coming weekend.
