The expression "You're making me blush" does not express the same meaning as "you're lying". To "lie" or to "tell a lie" is to tell an untruth or to deceive someone purposefully.
Although this might be Philip's desire, what he says actually has a very different meaning.
"You're making me blush" is an expression which means "you are embarrassing me". The verb "to blush" means to redden in color in the face, often due to an emotional reaction.
The expression "You're making me blush" does not express the same meaning as "you're joking", which is often said when one person doesn't believe another one. Example: -I just got promoted to president of the company. -You're joking! To joke or tell a joke is to recount a humorous anecdote.
