The Holy Spirit worked in and thru them to make sure wjat they wrote down was exactly as he had intended, but they were not mindless drones!
Are you now saying they contributed to what was written???!!!!

Jesus was telling them and us that His Apostles would be recording down the NT canon, and that they would have same inspiration as the OT writers had!
That is what I said you said.

Problem is this is a strange and new interpretation of Christ's words.

No , I am just saying that the Holy Spirit allowed each one to express it down as they chose to, and that he made surr was exactly right!

Not at all, as many point towards Jesus saying that the Holy Spirit would be in them and bring to their remembering all things as proof of their inspiration!

Name one scholarly source which interprets Jesus as considering inspired Scripture to be the future canon.

Inconsistent. Either God or the human writers chose those words. Make up your mind. Who framed the revelation of God into the words expressing those revelations?

Did God or sinners place Jesus upon that Cross?
 
The answer to the original question is a definite no, because that would be double inspiration. God didn't inspire translations, he only inspired the authors of Biblical Writ. To say otherwise is heterodox. That being said, I'm a majority text advocate myself. But I hold to that loosely because I am not a trained textual critic, and I know enough to know that I don't know that much.

MT as in the Bzt text?

Yes, the Majority Text is the Byzantine tradition, or some call in the Antiochian Text. I use that text because it seems to me that the churches stewardship of the Majority Text seems to have been dominant until the 20th century. Though I prefer the NKJV over the KJV because if has different readings in the margin, so it seems to me the best of both worlds. Having said that, I don't discount the NASB. I'm not TR, or MT only by any means.

Sounds like we agree, as while I [refer CT and modern translations off it, do also like the Nkjv and the Kjv!
