Since that means you are, ipso facto, accepting Jesus as the Old
Testament messiah, then by extension you are claiming that the Old
Testament is true, and part of Yahweh's word to man.

Do I take it then that you can't answer my questions? Does this
mean that you accept that the Old Testament is flawed? That the OT at
least contains errors? If so, then how can you continue to accept Jesus
as a true messiah when his prophecies then are at least of an
untrustworthy basis, and possibly even of a false religion?

After all, if you disregard the OT, then it would seem that
Jesus is nothing at all but another of the middle easts deluded holy
men. Josephus mentions several I believe, in addition to any putative
reference to Jesus.

Ciao.
