Well...neither -- and both. The Church -- and science's understanding of things changed. While the OT does not mention the earth being flat, the idea of it being thus is from where we get the term the "four corners of the earth":
"I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you." (Isaiah 41:9)
"Son of man, this is what the Sovereign LORD says to the land of Israel: The end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land." (Ezekiel 7:2)

Where in the Bible does it say that? It doesn't matter what a church says. Some churches believe you can be gay and a Christian both and that is wrong. You can't always believe what a church says , the Bible is the final word.

The world used to be flat disk ( the bible called it a circle which is flat ) but that was in the old testament. It is widely believed by Christian scholars who have studied the bible that Jesus changed it to being round ( a sphere ) in the new testament.

what changened is modern progress 700 hundred years ago even 300 years ago they black listed books because they where deemed,"Threatning" to therye sacred ideas and no the world is not flat and it never was. the whole reason religion exists is one for power and two for a easy way out of finding the truth and being lazy and saying this fabeled,"god" made it and the church apossed theorys of newton galaleo and such because they where threatning to them and for one instance the univirse didnt revolve around the earth what type of stupid assumption is there that everything does.

Churches are a crutch for people who cannot get a grip on reality . If they are such a good thing , I ask myself why there have been so many millions of people murdered in the name of religion /

That's due to lack of understanding of science
Has nothing to do with God or the church

The church got thier information from scientists. That's why we don't trust scientists anymore.

The Bible did not say that . It said that the world is sphere.
And four corners refers to east and west and north and south.
