Faith Alone, Bible Alone...what can be said?

 I am tired of the 500 year old debate regarding "Faith Alone" and "Bible Alone" doctrines.  If we hold to either we are faced with great contradictions...With the bible alone we are faced with accepting outside authority when we seek to answer the question of, how did God bring us the Holy Scriptures?  With faith alone, we are lambasted with the question of grace, does God only choose a few to be saved by grace, when in scripture He wills that all be saved, 1 Tim 2:4? 

If we can not reject God's grace, then does he really love us?  If we force something or someone to love us, do we truly feel loved, so then why would God do such a thing?  He wouldn't.  If God forced us by grace to be saved through faith alone, then there would be no need for redemption, forgiveness, healing, sanctification, or justification, because sin would be God's fault, and not ours.
