Why would anyone think that the Bible teaches a flat earth???
Isaiah 40:22 “It is He who sits above
the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens
like a curtain
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.”

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. - Psa 103:12If the passage made reference to north and south instread, would it convey the same meaning?

Exactly.
Nowhere does the Bible ever say or even imply the Earth is flat.
BTW, Hebrew had no specific word for sphere. The word translated as circle in the KJV also was the word used for a ball or sphere. So Isa 40:22 could also be accuratly translated as: “It is He who sits above the sphere of the earth,...”
1893? The Earth had been proven to be round long before this, as men had sailed around it many, man times.

See Job 38:
4 “ Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.5 Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?.
6 To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,.
