Sure he did. The Bible also says no man (other than Jesus) who ever live has consistently practiced love of neighbor or peace. That's the law. Christ taught that the ONLY way to salvation is a sincere belief in him and a regeneration of one's soul, a process Jesus called being born again. If this happens one will naturally accept a duty to love one's neighbor although they will never be able to practice it perfectly. Good intentions without belief in the one God, in all three of his persons, gets one only to hell.
Hopefully Becks “message” of returning to God was indeed taken with the idea of Christian roots.....but those who know Mormonism recognize that Mormonism does not have it's roots in the Christian Christ....rather an impostor.
