Do the Nazarenes exist because a false Christ died?

Some Nazarene missionaries claim that God Himself founded Christianity and that no one knew for 600 years that a false Christ died on the cross. However, such a claim is neither from the Qur’an nor from the Prophet (s.) nor from any of the Imams (a.). So it is a fabrication that no one believes in except the missionaries and their ignorant victims themselves.

Matthew reported that Jesus (a.) said before the crucifixion: “You will not see me from now on until you say: “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” (23:39) As well as: “Take heed that no one deceives you! For many will come under my name, saying: “I am the Christ!” And they will deceive many.” (24:4-5) As well as: “If then someone will say to you: “Behold, here is the Christ, or there, do not believe it! For false Christs and false prophets will appear and will perform great signs and wonders to deceive, as well as the elect, if possible.” (24:23-24) So God cannot seem to biblically prevent people from believing in false Christs, His fault?

روى متى أن عيسى عليه السلام قال قبل الصلب: إنكم لا ترونني من الآن حتى تقولوا مبارك الآتي باسم الرب وأنه قال: انظروا لا يضلكم أحد فإن كثيرين سيأتون باسمي قائلين أنا هو المسيح ويضلون كثيرين وأنه قال: حينئذ ان قال لكم أحد هو ذا المسيح هنا أو  هناك فلا تصدقوا لأنه سيقوم مسحاء كذبة وأنبياء كذبة ويعطون آيات عظيمة وعجائب حتى يضلوا لو أمكن المختارين أيضا فيبدو من هنا أن الله لا يمنع الناس من عقائد فاسدة بالمسيح فهل هذا ذنبه؟

Humran ibn A’yan reported that Imam al-Baqir (a.) said: “Jesus (a.) arranged to meet with his companions on the night that God lifted him up to Himself. Then they gathered at his place in the evening and there were twelve of them. He took them in a shelter. Hereupon he came out to them from a spring in the corner of the house, shaking off his head from the water. Hereupon he said: “God revealed to me that He is lifting me up to Himself at this hour and cleansing me from the Jews. Which of you shall appear in my likeness, whereupon he shall be killed and crucified and shall stand with me on my level?” A youth among them said: “I, O Spirit of God!” He said: “Then you are the one.” Hereupon Jesus (a.) said to them: “Someone among you will disbelieve in me before twelve disbelievers rise up.” Whereupon one among them said: “I, O Prophet of God!” Jesus said (a.): “Do you feel this in you? Then you shall be the one.” After that Jesus (a.) said to them: “You will form three divisions after me. Two divisions that lie about God will dwell in the fire and one division that follows Simon and is sincere toward God will dwell in Paradise.” After this, God raised Jesus (a.) up to Himself from the corner of the house while they were looking to Him. The Jews came from their night to look for Jesus (a.), whereupon they arrested the man about whom Jesus (a.) said: “Someone among you will disbelieve in me before twelve disbelievers rise.” And they seized the youth who appeared in the form of Jesus (a.), whereupon they killed him and crucified him and the one became an disbeliever, to whom Jesus (a.) said: “You will become disbelievers before twelve disbelievers rise.” [Al-Burhan of Al-Bahrani, Volume 2, page 40 – 41]

روى حمران بن أعين أن الإمام الباقر عليه السلام قال: إن عيسى عليه السلام وعد أصحابه ليلة رفعه الله إليه فاجتمعوا إليه عند المساء، و هم اثنا عشر رجلا، فأدخلهم بيتا ثم خرج عليهم من عين في زاوية البيت، و هو ينفض رأسه من الماء فقال: إن الله أوحى إلي أنه رافعي إليه الساعة، و مطهري من اليهود، فأيكم يلقى عليه شبحي فيقتل و يصلب و يكون معي في درجتي؟ فقال شاب منهم: أنا يا روح الله. قال: فأنت هوذا. فقال لهم عيسى عليه السلام: إن منكم لمن يكفر بي قبل أن يصبح اثنتي عشرة كفرة. فقال له رجل منهم: أنا هو يا نبي الله. فقال عيسى عليه السلام: أتحس بذلك في نفسك؟ فلتكن هو ثم قال لهم عيسى عليه السلام: إنكم ستفترقون بعدي على ثلاث فرق فرقتين مفتريتين على الله في النار، و فرقة تتبع شمعون صادقة على الله في الجنة. ثم رفع الله تعالى عيسى عليه السلام إليه من زاوية البيت و هم ينظرون إليه ثم قال أبو جعفر عليه السلام: إن اليهود جاءت في طلب عيسى عليه السلام من ليلتهم، فأخذوا الرجل الذي قال له عيسى: إن منكم لمن يكفر بي قبل أن يصبح اثنتي عشرة كفرة وأخذوا الشاب الذي القي عليه شبح عيسى عليه السلام فقتل و صلب و كفر الذي قال له عيسى: تكفر قبل أن تصبح اثنتي عشرة كفرة

In the fourth chapter of the Qur’an it says: “Because they disbelieved and uttered a tremendous slander against Mary and because they said: “We have killed Jesus Christ, the son of Mary, the messenger of God.” Neither did they kill him nor crucify him, but it appeared so to them, and those who disagree about him are certainly in doubt about him. They have no knowledge about him except following conjecture and they did not kill him with certainty but God lifted him up to Himself. God is mighty and wise.” (4:156-158)

جاء في السورة الرابعة للقرآن الكريم: وبكفرهم وقولهم على مريم بهتانا عظيما وقولهم إنا قتلنا المسيح عيسى ابن مريم رسول الله وما قتلوه وما صلبوه ولكن شبه لهم وإن الذين اختلفوا فيه لفي شك منه ما لهم به من علم إلا اتباع الظن وما قتلوه يقينا بل رفعه الله إليه وكان الله عزيزا حكيما

Conclusion:

We do not believe that Muhammad (s.) was the first after 600 years to share the information that a false Christ was crucified, but we believe that Jesus (a.) already shared the information with his disciples that they were not crucifying him, but rather a false Christ. Yes, the murderers of the crucified claimed that they killed the right one, but why take the faith of murderers and blame God when it should be taken from Jesus (a.)? If it were the fault of God that one has free will from where to take information, the God of the christians would not be more innocent.
