You are making theological statements about God. You reference the Bible, but you ignore the fact that the Bible gives some very clear teachings on the attributes of God that contradict what you're stating.
Do you accept the book of James, which directly contradicts the Evangelical Christian doctrine of Salvation by Faith Alone?
Liberal Christians aren’t the only ones that cherry-pick from the Bible.

Of course I accept James. And no--it does not contradict it. It lines up perfectly with the idea of salvation by faith alone. The question is "What is faith?" Read James 2 with that basic question, and see what he has to say about it.
It seems to me you are the one in a conundrum. The fact that God is holy presents a problem for your theology.
Not at all, but you've had this discussion with nate and camps, I believe, on a number of occasions. Your understanding of the what holy means is tripping you up, because you think it is in contradiction with love (which keeps no record of wrongs, and is not holding sin against the world).

I most certainly do not! You think it conflicts with God is love. This is your issue, not mine.

And yet you believe God will hold the sins of the majority of people against them for eternity.
Sounds like a contradiction with the biblical passage which says that God is not holding the sins of the world against them.
Except that it is NOT. God is also holy, just, righteous and wrathful. They're attributes.
Can you explain what God being and holy and righteous is, and an example of Jesus showing the wrath of God. You know that Jesus expressed everything that God is?. You ignored this last time i asked you
