Why did Allah make it seem to christians that Jesus died on the cross?

Before I start I ask this in no disrespectful way and ask for that in return in your replies :) So this is something that has been bugging me for a while. I am a Christian who struggles with faith from time to time and whenever I come to reading up on Islam more and more the one thing that I can't understand is why Allah made it seem to Christians that Jesus died on the cross. My reasons for this are: In Allah doing this he essentially created the faith and as he is all knowing he would know that millions of people would follow Jesus. Secondly the Quran and Muhammad coming many years after Jesus makes it hard for me to believe that these words are true. As he couldn't have seen it for himself. Also, before anyone mentions anything about the bible being unreliable and corrupted I know from lots of research that the bible through the thousands of copies of the original new testament that it is not changed how many Muslims say it has been. Finally, with my understanding the Quran has several different versions but muslims only believe in one? If I am correct. Thank you for your help
