The reliability of tradition

I read what you wrote about the reliability of tradition. In my opinion, there are many promises in the Bible that did not happen (I think this can be proven. I am not sending you a list because you will refer me to the biblical scholars.) I would like to ask you whether such a thing does not harm the reliability of tradition, whether the prophecies spoken by the moralists of tradition were false? Besides, in the chain of Kabbalah that Maimonides cites, there is a break of many years between Baruch ben Neriah and Ezra. Doesn’t this harm tradition?

Prophecies that have not come true certainly harm credibility. But each such prophecy must be discussed as to whether it has indeed not come true. I don’t draw on Maimonides’ lists. He doesn’t have to bring every stage. He chose to bring the central figures, and that really doesn’t mean there was a disconnect there.
