The Bible does not teach a "flat" Earth, or World, but does talk of "corners."
I take these "corners" to be the compass points, and note that quite large
areas of the globe can be considered flat, relative to your particular
location, to a very close approximation. In fact, only recently have we
developed instruments capable of detecting such small amounts of curvature.
Hence the past confusion of a "flat Earth," which was based upon the Biblical
teaching of "corners" and the inability to perceive your surrounding area as
anything other than "flat."
In Christ,
Neville.

Group,
How do we feel here about the Bible teaching a flat earth? After all, we
never do see the word "sphere" in the Bible.
Curious,

Yes we do Gary.
In many places. So we fear not your doubts/ Try orb. but then it does
depend on the version you search. and the various meanings of orb.
