Is there any reference in the Bible or in any additional gospels that Jesus said or implied that the world was flat?
If so, doesn't this shed doubts on the son of God?

Maybe.....
But metaphorically....
"[T]he devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them"
(Matthew 6:13)

Your question is " Did Jesus think the Earth is flat?" In the first place, using the past tense " did " implies that Jesus is not alive. He is very much alive, and He heard you ask this question ! As to knowing what he IS thinking, the Bible says that His ways and thoughts are unfathomable !

Jesus already existed before He humbly came down to earth to walk with the human beings. He was full of wisdom. He was a visible God., He is the Son of God. He knew the universe. He knew people's thoughts. He knows what you are about to say before you utter the words. Your question indicates that you need to read the Holy Bilble before you post any questions about Jesus. Please read the bible.

praise the lord my friend, because the bible clearly indicates the earth is flat!, jesus said that when he comes every eye will see him, that he will come from the east to the west, so, my friend this is only possible in a flat earth!, but now you think i am stupid?, no! my friend, you have been deceived in ways you don't understand...remember god himself sent strong dilusion to those who don't accept the truth, so they will believe a lie!, so my friend, yes, jesus and all the bible claim the earth is flat, because it is flat!

Don't listen to your middle school textbooks. People figured out the earth was round hundreds of years before jesus, and the earliest known globe was created in Turkey in 150 BC.

Educate yourself about where the belief that ancient people thought the earth was flat came from:
"The modern misconception that people of the Middle Ages believed that the Earth was flat first entered the popular imagination in the nineteenth century, thanks largely to the publication of Washington Irving's fantasy The Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus in 1828."

He never said that. Psalms talks about how the earth is a circle, people seem to nitpick parts and don't give you the full understanding. But Jesus never said the earth was flat.

NO - because Jesus and his father God created the world together - people in Jesus age knew that the world was not flat, but over time they got dummber and dummber now people know that the world is round, but they can't do anything without technology. (education is going down, ppl can't calculate.

The Lord knows the Earth is round simply because He created it through the divine investiture of the Father.

Isn't Luke Skywalker a more relevant figure today than Jesus? Why doesn't anybody ask if Luke thought the world was flat.
I am getting awfully tired of these pointless Jesus questions.
