Is it true that Thomas Alva Edison's mom hid the letter from his school stating that he is unfit for school?
No, there was no letter. That very heartwarming story is just a combination of fictional stories with just slivers of truth.Thomas Edison actually overheard his teacher telling the inspector that “he was addled”, and it would not be worthwhile keeping him in school any longer”. Edison was upset and angry. He told his mother what he had heard.His mother’s love was aroused and the pride in her son was wounded. She took Thomas back to the school, gave the teacher an angry piece of her mind, told him that he didn’t know what he was talking about, and that her son had more brains than he did.His mother decided to educate her son at home. She had been a teacher, and saw the potential in Thomas. Edison said his mother was the most enthusiastic champion he ever had.
What does this Scripture mean, "Always learning and yet never....?
In the Christian Greek Scriptures there are two words commonly translated “knowledge,” gno′sis and e·pi′gno·sis. Both are related to the verb gi·no′sko, which means “know; understand; perceive.” The way this verb is used in the Bible, though, shows that it can indicate a favorable relationship between the person and one he “knows.” (1Co 8:3; 2Ti 2:19) Knowledge (gno′sis) is put in a very favorable light in the Christian Greek Scriptures. However, not all that men may call “knowledge” is to be sought, because philosophies and views exist that are “falsely called ‘knowledge.’” (1Ti 6:20) The recommended knowledge is about God and his purposes. (2Pe 1:5) This involves more than merely having facts, which many atheists have; a personal devotion to God and Christ is implied. (Joh 17:3; 6:68, 69) Whereas having knowledge (information alone) might result in a feeling of superiority, our knowing “the love of the Christ which surpasses knowledge,” that is, knowing this love by experience because we are personally imitating his loving ways, will balance and give wholesome direction to our use of any information we may have gained.—Eph 3:19. E·pi′gno·sis, a strengthened form of gno′sis (e·pi′, meaning “additional”), can often be seen from the context to mean “exact, accurate, or full knowledge.” Thus Paul wrote about some who were learning (taking in knowledge) “yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge [“a real knowledge,” TC; “a personal knowledge,” Ro; “clear, full knowledge,” Da ftn] of truth.” (2Ti 3:6, 7) He also prayed that ones in the Colossian congregation, who obviously had some knowledge of God’s will, for they had become Christians, “be filled with the accurate knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual comprehension.” (Col 1:9) Such accurate knowledge should be sought by all Christians (Eph 1:15-17; Php 1:9; 1Ti 2:3, 4), it being important in putting on “the new personality” and in gaining peace.—Col 3:10; 2Pe 1:2.

What does "this is my kingdom come" mean?
It's a lyric in this song by the Imagine Dragons, I know it has some religious story behind it, and I'd like to know what it means specifically towards the song. Here are the lyrics leading up to it: I want to hide the truth I want to shelter you But with the beast inside There’s nowhere we can hide No matter what we breed We still are made of greed This is my kingdom come This is my kingdom come thank you soooo much!
I heard from elders that Kannada Actor Puneet Rajkumar was a smuggler. Is that true?
I so, so wanted to not write an answer to this question, still...Well if you actually want to know, there are only two people you can approach.Puneeth Rajkumar himselfAn all knowing Oracle.There are many other conspiracy theories if you dig deeper. They say, that Puneeth smuggled with Veerappan and that is the reason why Veerappan abducted Rajkumar... Puneeth had underworld links many many more.I want to highlight one thing I read it in Chidambara Rahasya (if I'm not wrong) of Poorna Chandra Tejaswi. If you believe in a theory and you start digging deeper, you will find clues asserting your theory.This makes you believe that your theory is true; which might not be the case always. So, you'll always find people who tell you such things. Not only for Puneeth, but for other celebs as well. As you become a celebrity, gossips start building around you.If you try to find his public behavior, he is one among many fine actors KFI has produced. For those who crib, all of it is because of his Dad's name, trust me, one can't fare this long only with that. He is a national award winner in his childhood. Yes, you can call me a fan of Puneeth. True. But I am trying to be as unbiased I can here. Though he might not be well versed with classical singing, he is a good singer in full demand these days for some peppy numbers. The number of songs he sings is increasing year by year and the remuneration he takes for singing is completely redirected to charity. Many adore his simplicity, acting, singing and dancing. Okay, back to the point.Be the rumour true or not; one should always keep this in mind. "Is the rumour affecting you? in any faintest possible way?"If the answer is true, probably you might find some sense of satisfaction knowing the truth. If not, its their personal business. If at all the rumour is true, Karma has its ways always.Thanks for A2A.
