"What does Genesis 1 have to do with the Earth's shape. " What does it have to do with reality?

"So not only does the Bible already call the Earth a sphere" Oh no it doesn't.

"In reality, the Bible never teaches a flat Earth." Oh yes it does.

The difference is that we have proof that Columbus was misrepresented. Conversely, you have not presented any proof that such a thing has happened to any of the people in the Bible.

You are not the first person, and will not be the last, who tries to distort Sacred scripture to their own ends.

Nowhere in your comment do you even attempt to refute the evidence against the Flat Earth and for a spherical. Instead, you just committed an Ad Hominem fallacy by maliciously accusing me of distorting Scripture, without proof.

Honest people just need to read the first few chapters of Genesis.

Massive False Dilemma fallacy. You have no rational basis for insisting that there are only two choices: Someone either believes the Earth is flat or they are a liar. That is also very counter-Christian behaviour to accuse a fellow brother in Christ of lying, again without proof. Also, the article I linked to already refuted your claim that the Flat Earth can be found anywhere in Genesis. Ignoring this evidence doesn't refute it.

In any theological argument, for Catholics, the Fathers of the Church are the first authority. Theirs is not just "an opinion". It merits respect.

On the contrary, anything a Father of the Church says that is not either outright stated in the Bible or a logical deduction of something the Bible says is, in fact, their opinion. The Word of our Omniscient God is our first authority, not the words of the sinful and fallible human beings that lead the church.

Something protestants and Conciliar Catholics know almost nothing about.

This is another Ad Hominem and a False Dilemma. Have you considered the possibility that they disagree with Catholics because they are very well aware of how it works and see the problems? The founders of the Reformation were very well aware of this and were outraged at the various teachings of the Catholic Church that contradicted scripture and yet were promoted as God's Word simply because the Fathers said it. The Reformers, like the early church (eg. Acts 17:11), recognised Sola Scriptura.

Look, you need to get your house in order about being Catholic before engaging in flat earth arguments.

I have already got my house in order. Furthermore, on what basis are only Catholics allowed to debate the Earth's shape?

Outside the Roman Catholic Church, NO salvation.

You will not find this idea anywhere in the Bible. Talk about distorting Scripture. Instead, you will find things like:
Jesus: "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." - Mark 16:16
It is people who believe in Jesus (i.e. all Christians) that will be saved, not Catholics alone.
Jesus: "So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven," - Matthew 10:32
Again, all Christians. Not just Catholics.
"yet we know that a person is not counted righteous by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be counted righteous by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be counted righteous." - Galatians 2:16
And here is one of many places where Paul says the same thing: A person is saved by faith in Christ, not being a Catholic. Furthermore, this is also one of many places where Paul contradicts the idea that good deeds are a factor in a person's salvation.

Evidence? Galileo vs the Inquisition. Heliocentrism was not to be taught as true. Or else.

The Bible was written by geocentrics?
evidence?
God is the centre to His people, & God is shown as spirit to be above his creation, spoken of much above the earth. Material object, If anything people looked to the sun. Sun & Son are used interchangeably in at least one verse

Read the Hebrew. The word describing the earth is also the Hebrew word for vault - thus a 3 dimensional object.

Today's Roman catholic church is doing pretty much anything to keep as many sheep's as possible.
Question tho why haven't been added the Dead Sea Scroll's in the last edition of the Bible?
Well i am just guessing but my gut felling tells me that i am right coz the Dead Sea Scrolls would throw out the current teaching of the bible and expose those teachings as big fat lie!.
So for the own Church convenience.
And loose plenty of foolish believer that blindly believe in what the church preach..

If i am not mistaken in the history books is written that the Church was burning people to the stick if they were speaking against the Church teachings coz the church considered it BLASPHEMY.
.So my question is those that wrote the history books made purposely that mistake?
My answer is Yes they did it on purpose in order to steer the masses towards the Catholic Church.
Same way works capitalism today with a slightly different approach.
In the facts today see the majority of the people on the planet that follow few simple stupid things thrown out there only to attract the masses,a small example since 2015 automobile companies have begun building cars that have an electric motor,but we from history know and its a fact that Nikola Tesla was the first to build the very first car that had an electric motor registered to the NYC patent office in 1902.
Today many may do not know but in the USA in Texas not sure if private or government is being tested wireless electricity.
Mother Russia since 2015 has already built 5 Tesla Tower on russian soil.
Most of the humans population is so dumb that believe in pretty much anything they are being told through TV and any other device...
Which make most of the population kinda ignorant coz they follow what's easy to understand and catchy,specifically designed to attract as many as possible...
