If thats the case, then, what is the meaning of the following?

“Each man should look to his conduct; if he has reason to boast of anything, it will be because the achievement is his and not another’s. ......... A man will REAP ONLY what he SOWS.” Galatians 6:4 - 7

"Each of us shall give an account of himself to God." Romans 14:12

"Each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor." 1Corinthians 3:8

"Also to you O Lord, belong mercy; for you render to each one according to his work." Psalms 62:12

"And will he not render to each man according to his deeds?" Proverbs 24:12

If each man reaps what he sows, how can Jesus be the savior ? How could he have taken on the sins of mankind and negated them ?
For heaven's sake, please have some common sense in what you preach. In fact, only GOD can save us from anything and definitely Jesus is not God, cos, God said in Isaiah 46:9 “I am God, there is no other;, I am God, THERE IS NONE LIKE ME.”

In the Final Testament, the Quran, God clearly calls Himself the Redeemer and no savior besides Him;

[2:160.15] As for those who repent, reform, and proclaim, I redeem them. I am the Redeemer, Most Merciful.

[ 4:173.46] As for those who believe and lead a righteous life, He will fully recompense them, and shower them with His grace. As for those who disdain and turn arrogant, He will commit them to painful retribution. They will find no lord beside GOD, nor a savior.

[9:104.22] Do they not realize that GOD accepts the repentance of His worshipers, and takes the charities, and that GOD is the Redeemer, Most Merciful?

[ 24:10.11] This is GOD's grace and mercy towards you. GOD is Redeemer, Most Wise.

[ 49:12.54] .....You shall observe GOD. GOD is Redeemer, Most Merciful.

[ 110:3.16] You shall glorify and praise your Lord, and implore Him for forgiveness. He is the Redeemer.

Quran (The Final Testament) confirms the basic principle in the Old and New Testaments, that a man will reap only what he sows.

"Every soul is responsible only for his/her own work" 53:39

".............no soul benefits except from its own work, and none bears the burden of another......" 6:164

We have Only One God who can redeem us, He is the same God who spoke in the Bible, the Gospel and the Quran reminding us that there is no god besides Him.

[Quran 112:1-4] Proclaim, "He is the One and only GOD. "The Absolute GOD. "Never did He beget. Nor was He begotten. "None equals Him."

Only God can Save us from Anything and Everything.

If you are sowing Jesus in this life, you will reap Jesus in Heaven.
It's really not all that difficult to understand the concept of sowing and reaping.
For the Atheist, sowing and reaping takes place only in this life.
For the believer, sowing takes place in this life, and reaping takes place here, and in heaven.

That depends on which Christian you ask. To me you can believe all you want but if you can't act like a Christian then you are not one. Being Christian means trying to be like Christ. Of course we are not perfect that is why he suffered for our sins. But you have to be a good person. Jesus is the Son of God not God himself. God gave is only begotten Son so that we would be able to go to heaven. But your right God is going to judge you on what kind of life you lead, so be the best you can.

there is no evidence that the gospel of Barnabas exchange into created by employing the eponymous author. for this reason it somewhat is a pseudepigraphical gospel and part of why it exchange into no longer given a gap contained in the bible. additionally, Oneness Pentacostals settle for the Oneness of God on an analogous time as concurrently accepting the hot testomony as is.

Good works are the natural fruit of true faith.

James 2: 14-18 My brothers, what [is] the gain if anyone says he has faith, but he does not have works? Is the faith able to save him? But if a brother or a sister is naked and may be lacking in daily food, and any one of you say to them, Go in peace, be warmed and filled, but does not give them the things the body needs, what gain [is it]? So also faith, if it does not have works, is dead being by itself. But someone will say, You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith out of my works.

I was wondering when someone was going to notice those passages. Here's a simpler rendition: "Give loot to the church and we'll help you get saved."

It's a break in logic that you need HUMANS to get to GOD.

In the time of the Old Testament scriptures you are quoting was the time and era when mankind was held to "rules".., that was before Christ was come into the world..,like an adolescent..., but it is still all true. You have to have some discernment.., which you are obviously very "literal" in your thinking by your writing.
Men DO reap what they sow, and it's just another way of saying (like in 1st chapter of Genesis) that every seed produces after it's own kind. That is true in every area of living. Cats have kittens, peach trees don't produce apples, good works follow up with receiving same, God sowed ONE seed Jesus.., the Word of God made flesh.., and from that one seed, comes all the followers and believers and 'children' of God.
Jesus can be and IS the Savior of mankind, and we reap, (if you will read the rest of the chapter of this scripture..,) spiritually if we sow in that direction and if we sow to the flesh, we reap corruption.
Now, the "sow and reap" works whether we are born again in Jesus or not..., God's laws cannot be violated as in making them of no effect.
If and when you come to Jesus, you will reap from every thought, behavior and word.., but also reaping from the LIFE cycle of blessings He obtained for us.., but it's all under His blood and sacrifice..., like looking at it through love and forgiveness up front.
Like you would look at your children's behaviors opposed to the neighbors kids..., it's certainly through the eyes of love and understanding for your own.
But if you are NOT under the blood and forgiveness of Jesus, made alive to God again, NOT having your sin-nature redeemed, the literal consequence is inevitable without any redemption applied.., like: get that neighbor kid away from me!
Jesus IS God and WAS the Word of God in heaven before He was born in the flesh AS a man, becoming the Son (offspring) of God (his source). When the man Jesus was baptized in the Jordan by John the baptizer, God from heaven said, "This is my beloved son, hear him".
I would quote you scriptures but you don't believe them anyway.., so you just want to present what appears to an un-regenerated mind a mental trap.
Your logic isn't logical, not knowing the ONE who is God.
You haven't accepted God came as a man; that He loves mankind that much. You want to make God in YOUR image and make Him do what YOU think is "god-likeness".
You reap "in christ" or out of christ..., but you DO reap what you sow. You are either sowing TO the Spirit in Christ or TO the flesh outside Christ and God will render to each man according to his deeds!
Every man that is judged OUTSIDE of Christ, is condemned as a sinner and his reward is eternal separation from the God he rejected.., he just is getting what he wants; what he has sown..., or thinks he wants.
Every man judged in Christ is judged "as a SON" and will be given His reward AS a son and his reward will be how well he served AS a son, reaping what he has sown. you only become a son once, but your sowing and reaping is thereafter.
This isn't 'common sense' my friend, it is un-common, righteous, spiritual sense.
Get in and quit trying to wrestle with God.
In the Corintihian scripture and in the Roman one, the writing was to believers, thus children of God already. See?
Also, God is not like three gods, God is Godhead. We understand the whole by grasping the trilogy.., like; time as past, present, and future. God as; father, son (the Word) made flesh, and Holy Spirit.
Mankind as: spirit, soul, body; Soul as: Mind, will and emtions...
You live in the third dimension here on Earth...
Learn and better yet, discern! Without Christ Jesus, we are spiritually dead. We come spiritually alive when we 'hook on' to the life and blood (life is in the blood) of Jesus! Adam "killed" our relationship with God as for as walking and talking because of Adam's bowing to another and following him, the devil.
WE are mastered and under the dominion of whom or of what to which we bow and serve. Got to come back to God one person at a time by choice.
Another point that you don't seem to understand; after you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior, all that happens is that you are made alive to God, spiritually re-born, and all your previous sins are remitted/negated. You then, still have your free-will choices to make from that day forward along with a covenant of as you sin again, you can ask for forgiveness and repent (turn from that behavior) and apply the blood over that sin and it is gone! It is a family plan, so to speak. You don't have this option if you are not in God's family yet by receiving Jesus as your Lord.., this is God's plan.
There are just parts of the system you don't realize yet.., but there is always hope.

Funny that you should quote the apostle Paul to make your point, and then ignore passages from the same author which seem to rebut the point that you are trying to make. Talk about picking and choosing Bible verses. How can we take you seriously?

====edit===

You can start by explaning this passage:
------
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
~Paul the Apostle (Ephesians 2:1-10 (NIV))

====edit2===
9Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. 12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

15"If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— 17the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be[c] in you. 18I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. 20On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
22Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?"

23Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

25"All this I have spoken while still with you. 26But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
~Gospel of John 14 (NIV)
