23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
The servant was legally owed money, and fully justified in demanding it.
There is a difference between the Justice of law, and the mercies taught by Jesus. If you continually demand justice of god, be careful because you just might get it.
Followers of christ do not seek Justice for themselves. God is Just and he will deal with that side of things. You oh great sinner, are to seek forgiveness for yourself and others, as justice is not something you should desire. Pray for your enemies, and bless those who persecute you.
When the days of grace are ended, then will be the time of justice, and god will pour out his wrath.
I judge no man, but I repeat Jesus' words to all; believers and unbelievers alike. If you forgive not, you will not be forgiven. Judge not, (condemn others) or you yourself will also be judged. These words offend many, and there are few that can accept them.
To judge that a man is a child of hell, and then send them there with our own hands is not the place of any follower of christ, ever.
Many will falsely come in the name of Jesus, saying that Jesus is Christ (Or "I am a Christian"), and will deceive many. Matt 24 And many are already in the world today.
At the day of Judgement many "christians" will come to Jesus and say, "Lord Lord, have we not preached and prophesied in your name, have we not done many works in your name?" And he will say to them, depart from me, I never knew you.
I judge no man, but I will cast down every false argument I see. (When I see it is worthwhile and not casting pearls before swine; there would be no end otherwise.) And I will never cease to proclaim the words of Jesus, and use them to correct both mistaken brothers in christ, and also the false teachers who are inside ravening wolves.
It does not matter who I am or what I believe, what matters are the words that Jesus has said. He has already decided the argument and made his view on the matter known.
Remember the parable of the unforgiving servant.
The servant was legally owed money, and fully justified in demanding it.

It is helpful in a discussion to try and stick to the top levels of this Grahams hierarchy of "argument"
It does not matter who I am or what I believe, what matters are the words that Jesus has said. He has already decided the argument and made his view on the matter known.
