What do you? Please logically think it through, then answer.
Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.
Seems circular reasoning to me.What do you think of circular reasoning in general? Google it, if neccessary.
Who gives the Bible its authority? I would think God which includes Jesus.

God gives the Bible it's authority because it's God's Word to mankind. The Godhead = God the Father, Jesus Christ His son, and the Holy Spirit. So, yes it would.
I'll look up circular reasoning.

It's part of logical fallacies / part of debate.
People Love to debate God's Word and try to show how illogical it is.
Isn't it wonderful to know that we Can know that Jesus Does love us Because the Bible tells us that? With God's authority we Can know it's true.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He Gave........."

The rest of John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that who so ever believeth in Him, will not perish but have everlasting life."

That isn't circular reasoning.
Circular reasoning:
The bible is the word of God because the bible says it is the word of God.
Saying that Jesus loves us because the bible says so is NOT circular reasoning.
Saying that Jesus loves me because the bible says so because the bible is the word of God and I know it is the word of God because it says so, that is circular reasoning.

I have no problem with that.
