If you believed that the earth was flat because God told you it that it is, would you still believe that the earth was flat if someone you trusted, proved to you that the earth was actually round?

Interesting Hypothetical.

The Bible actually recorded that the earth was round, a couple of thousand years before science confirmed it.

There were some WAY ignorant Church Leaders who took the expression 'four corner of the earth' as an indication that the earth was flat and square, but apparently they forgot to read the whole thing.

If God 'told' me ANYTHING, (like in a voice), I'd seek medical attention, as this can be an indication of mental disease.
God doesn't communicate that way anymore. He communicates through his word the Bible.

That Bible passage is ambiguous, it could refer to a sphere, or to a round disk.

When did God change His habits and stop communicating the old way?
