If you're refering to when the church was going against the Copernicus theory that again was corruption in the church, not biblical falsehood.
Heathen! The earth IS stationary:
1Chron 16:30 ...the world also shall be stable that it be not moved.
Psalms 93:1 ...the world also is established, that it cannot be moved.
Psalms 96:10 ...the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved.
The earth is set on pillars:
1 Sam 2:8 ...for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Psalms 75:3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
Psalms 104:5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
Jer 31:37 Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
Micah 6:2 Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
And both Catholics and Protestants rejected the false and heretical teaching that we live in a heliocentric solar system.
"We are indeed not ignorant that the circut of the Heavens is finite and that the earth, like a little globe, is placed in the center."
-John Calvin, Commentary on Genesis
"If there were real proof that the sun is the center of the universe... we should have great difficulty in explaining the passages of scripture that teach to the contrary."
-Cardinal Bellermine
It's only lately that sissy, namby-pamby Christians like yourself have been so willing to throw the Bible under the bus in favor of all that science and logic. We know that the earth is stationary and the sun moves about it. It is set upon pillars and the sky is a dome fixed above it (Gen 1:8). How dare you call yourself a "Christian" and yet reject the Bible whenever it suits your secular, science agenda?
