What a terrible anti-christ point of view.

anti-Christ? 

it's the truth. 
if "your best life" isn't in the life to come, your life to come must not look too appealing.

let me ask you something Albert. 

have you read of Daniel? 
do you think he had a good prayer life? 

do you imagine Daniel ever prayed to be released from bondage & slavery? 
for his captivity and the captivity of his people to end? 

you know where Daniel died, right? 
in slavery. 
right where God wanted him.

time to move on from eating manna

if you want to talk about "terrible anti-Christ points of view" 
well here's one. 

what does the scripture say manna is, Albert? 
have you read? 

it's Jesus Christ. 

Jesus said to them,
"I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst."
(John 6:35)

but you want to "move on" from Him? He's not sufficient for you? 

dude, if you are hungry, and thirsty -- then you have not eaten of Him at all, and you have not tasted the water. 

manna is the bread that comes down from heaven.
it's the Lord of heaven and earth. 
and you're spitting on it, being unsatisfied, and you want to tell me i have a "terrible anti-Christ point of view" ? 
you, with your 'ministry' of yourself?
your Erhard Seminar training with a few Bible verses sprinkled on it? 

"i disagree"

Each of us has a promised land for our lives.

tell me about the life of Moses, Albert. 

was Moses a righteous man? 

where did Moses die, Albert? 

where did he spend his entire life? 

o let's see -- grew up among pagan idolaters in Egypt
fled to the wilderness for 40 years among pagan idolatrous people
went back to idolatrous Egypt
lived in the wilderness for 40 more years
never set foot in the promised land

hmm i guess he just didn't have enough faith to self-actualize. 
too bad, Moses, man with whom God spoke to as face-to-face. 
you coulda been a contender. 

if only Moses had hear of the blessing of Albert Finch Ministries!
alas.

2.Timothy 1:9 - "Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from al eternity."

Ephesians 4:1 - "Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,"

A proof text without a context is a pretext

is your interpretation of this, 
that anyone who disagrees with you or points out holes in your doctrine, 
"foolish and ignorant" ? 

my, but that would be convenient! 
and a dastardly abuse of scripture.

He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught,
so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine
and also to rebuke those who contradict it.

It might be helpful to read that verse in context: 

23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.
24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,
25 in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth,
26 and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
 

It seems clear to me that Paul means something very different to you, he wants Timothy to correct people who are in error so they might repent of that error
