Is it true that I could spoil my baby by picking him up every time he cries? It just gets frustrating when he keeps crying.

According to Dr. Frans X. Plooij 'one of the reasons a baby cries is to seek comfort'. He posits in his book 'The Wonder Weeks' that the world is new to a baby and that this new world may frighten them; this natural instinct causes them to seek comfort in your arms.
