Ah, I'm a little confused. Did you mean the above to read:
What she meant is, "I am a phony."
Is this the sense?
To my thinking as a fundamental, New Testament regenerated believer-disciple, the phrase "liberal Christian" is a contradiction. Which is what I think you are also saying. {?}
“What she meant is, “I am a phony.””
That is exactly what I meant. Please forgive the lack of quotation marks.
