Being logical doesn't imply knowing every true sentence.

Logical meaning having the ability to follow logical rules to determine whether or not any statement is true or false. I've followed that train of logic and determined that the sentence you provided is neither true nor false. I've determined that it is paradoxical. Why would an omniscient being be unable to know that this is a paradox?
