Thank you that was helpful. I guess one reason why I even thought it was worth persuing further, is the following quote. Particularly, what Strong's Concordance supposedly says.

Quote
Hebrews 9:13-14 states, "For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" In The Macarthur Study Bible (copyright 2006), John Macarthur states in his notes regarding God's use of the word "blood" in this verse that "blood is used as a substitute word for death." According to Strong's Concordance, the Greek word for blood in this verse is "haima" which means "blood" and does not mean death.
