He really was forgiven.
Yet that forgiveness was rescinded anyway.
23“For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves.
26“So the slave fell to the ground and prostrated himself before him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.’ 27“And the lord of that slave felt compassion and released him and forgave him the debt.
32 ...‘You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. 33‘Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you?’ 34“And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him. 35“My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart.” (Matthew 18:23,26,32-35 NASB)
And Christ said this is how it is in the kingdom of heaven. Hmm....
