I never said Mormons weren't nice people. You can be nice all day long and still go straight to Hell. Good works will not get anyone in to Heaven. There are plenty of people that are Christian that don't act as well as Mormons do. Unfortunately this is a doctrine argument, not a who has the best record at being super nice to people argument. Forgiveness is not an exclusive trait to Christians. Mormons, Muslims, and just about all religions have some form of forgiveness.

So Mormons are really nice people. They also belong to a cult.

We understand the scriptures differently. The Savior paid the price through His atonement. My life and my keeping His commandments because He has told us to do so, is my choice and my faith.

James 2:

17 Even so afaith, if it hath not bworks, is dead, being alone.
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
