It's only nonsensical if you have the additional assumption that God cannot do things that are logically impossible. Granted, if they can, that kind of throws all logical explorations of this sort out the window.
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.
