if by "strung up" you mean crucified, Jesus was put on earth for one reason, and that was to die for everybdys sins. the reason they crucified him, though, is because he said that he was God, which he was, not because of the way he talked about the rich.

"Strung up" is, of course, slang for an unceremonious
execution. Now, you say that Jesus was crucified
because he said that he was "God." Of course, any
knowledge of history at that time suggests that several
"prophets" went around claiming to be the Messiah who
would lead the Jews to independence from Rome...most
of them did not end up on a cross. Jesus did. The
need for simple answers is not sufficient reason for
the rest of us to settle for them.
