...as I see it.

I agree the blood has a voice. Good point.

I don't see a man in heaven standing between sinners and a holy God advocating on behalf of sinners as an intermediary.

I don't either, and this is my entire point. The intercession is not done dfor sinners, BUT SAINTS. It is done for saints that they might enter the most holy place. Hebrews treats the most holy place as a state we can enter in which we have victory over everything in our behaviour. It is not for sinners and their sins, but for saints and their weakness and doubt, that they might come BOLDLY into the holiest with full assurance of faith.
Again, my entire topic posts show this to be the theme of Hebrews.
