The Message is a paraphrase, like the NLT. That means more of less that the translator reads the original language, then thinks about it a while, then writes in English what he thinks it means to him. In addition, the Message was translated by only one man, Eugene Peterson, so you are definitely going to get a bias towards his thinking and theology.

2 Tim 3:16
