Christian: That which is God-loved (loved by God) is that which is good; that which is good is that which is God-loved.

Fool: Well, answer me this, Theist: Is something God-loved because it is good, or is it good because it is God-loved?

Christian: Because that which is God-loved is that which is good, because that which is good is that which is God-loved, we understand that the two terms, 'God-loved' and 'good,' are synonymously interchangeable.

Fool: OK, and?

Christian: So, let's apply this principle to what you just said: "Is something God-loved because it is good, or is it good because it is God-loved?" Let's change out your term, 'good,' for its synonym, 'God-loved'. Doing so, we find that what you are saying is this: "Is something God-loved because it is [God-loved], or is it [God-loved] because it is God-loved?" We find, thus, that you are presenting no disjunction. You're merely talking silly talk. We can see the same is true by, instead of swapping out your term, 'good,' for its synonym, 'God-loved,' swapping out your term, 'God-loved,' for its synonym, 'good': "Is something [good] because it is good, or is it good because it is [good]?" Insofar as something is what it is because it is what it is, the correct answer to your question is YES.
