There are at least two scripture passages that show that pagans practice Love Thy Neighbor:
Romans 2: 14 & 15; and Acts 28: 3 - 7.
E.g.: “Indeed when the gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required of the law, . . ., they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts . . . .”
Question: Is it because
a. we are created by God with a nature inclined toward Love Thy Neighbor (despite the distortions of the fall), or
b. we are born with the ability to learn Love Thy Neighbor, and God is at work in the lives of all people (regardless of their beliefs)?
