However, I did come across a verse today that is very loosely translated in the Message. I was comparing it to the NIV and NLT. The Message verse had a completely different meaning than the other two. For a newbie Christian, or young person, I'd say it's a great Bible to start with to get the point and history of Christianity. I'll just continue to use the NIV and NLT for studying though.

First, some people do have a difficult time with the English language in everyday use, let alone when they have to read God's word through the old King James. I will say that I have used this bible for study and it is great alone, or when used with another version. I would rather see someone study with The Message (Remix or not), than not at all. I say it is still God's word whether it is in modern english or old english. Love ya, man! :) Cari I don’t really agree with that statement.
