If everybody is said to be on one side of the Earth, then it is meant that they are all on the surface. If the surface is flat or only two-dimensional in space, how is the Sun descending beneath the surface in the West and rising above it in the East all the time? The only way that works in 3-D is if it's a sphere.

Depends.  Book of Enoch says that it passed through gates.  One Father that it went past some high mountains.  Others did say it went around in a spherical orbit.

Problem here, and this is Sungenis' problem, is WHAT is a sphere?  For the Fathers the outline of the sphere was formed not by the solid earth, but rather by the firmament.  It's the firmament that formed a spherical enclosure around the world.  They were NOT speaking of the ground that we walk on being spherical.  Some believed it was hemispherial in shape, and others that it was cone-shaped.

Im still reading this long thread and other posts, but where in bible did it mention a flat earth?

Philothea, have you looked into the Firmament? (The Dome of the earth)

One short excerpt among much information in the link above:

Genesis 1:
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

I dont know if this can serve as a proof, but I was following the aurora since I was trying to find out if I can see it from where I live, but the aurora oval looks very weird to me... Why is it that wavy?

GE would say that tilt and wobble of the earth. But, if it were laid out on a FE map, it would be a concentric ring around the polar region.

Much like this comparison of the jet stream:

The flat Earth is like school in summer. No class. Besides that it's all puppet shows and the wrong side of Occam's razor. The way it tries to deal with plurality in space is to multiply what would be wrong with it if it were.
