Agreed. And if God can do things outside of logic/reason, then we can't understand him. Then the answer to the paradox would be: it is both impossible and possible. Which doesn't make sense, but now we're supposing God doesn't follow the law of non-contradiction.

You're right it's not a paradox but rather it is a statement that is self-contradictory or logically untenable, though based on a valid deduction from acceptable premises.
