Matthew 18:21-35 : I get the point of the servant being wrong in getting his own debt cancelled but going and hassling someone else then for a debt but the comparison of that story to the kingdom of heaven feels conflicting.

Not how he talks about the kingdom of heaven or God in other parables. (14:30-31:14)
