Does a prophet of God have to be 100% accurate in his/her prophecies?
Yes, otherwise one would be able to tell God he/she did not believe in a particular Prophet because one of his prophecies did not come to pass. The Bible makes it clear that Prophets shall speak of things presumptously. You don't make exceptions on determining whether or not someone is a true Prophet.
How will they be judged? Just curious.......
This I cannot tell you, for it is up to God and God alone. He will decide determined (I guess) on what the people knew to be right and wrong. But the Qur'an makes it clear that they will be judged differently. You have to understand that Muhammad (Pbuh) was not the first Prophet, but the last. There were hundreds of Prophets before him, and only 23 are mentioned by name in the Qur'an. These hundreds of others no doubt gave God's message to their people.
Every nation had their own prophet?
Yes.
Do you know of every nations prophets to substantiate this claim?
As mentioned above, only 23 are mentioned by name. But God tells us specifically that all nations had their prophets. And doesn't that make sense. Shouldn't all people have been taught of God and His Creations? Or do you think that only certain people born in certain times should know??
It only makes sense that all nations had Prophets. Otherwise, on the day of Judgement, they could not be held responsible for not living the way God instructed them, because they wouldn't have known how God instructe them to live.
I know you consider Jesus a prophet, why do you think his message was not for all nations?
Because he said so according to the Qur'an, and according to the Bible.
Matthew 15:23-28
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Also, does 'their Lord' imply different people had different Lords?
No of course not. Their Lord is Our Lord, for there is only One Lord.
Peace be unto You,
