It is even more than a Christian Talmud, it is a teaching Magisterium that they seem to be intent on creating.  That is, THEY will define how to interpret the Bible and claim that other ideas outside of theirs are heterodox. 
They tried to get the TNIV people to RESTRICT the meaning of some words in the lexicons; this is simply not possible to do and when the TNIV translators pointed this out, the gender hierarchicalists said that the TNIV people broke their promise.  It is simply not possible to agree to change the meaning of words in a lexicon, the very idea of being able to make such a promise is bogus.

So the gender hierarchicalists had major influence on 2 recent translations, ESV and HCSB.  This is their attempt to address all the “problem” verses by making a translation that removes the problems (from their perspective).

It is ironic as this is exactly what started the Protestant Reformation.
