It seems as though you're merely asserting that God can be contradictory and I don't see how it holds. The rock that can't be lifted simply doesn't exist if God can lift it. It's not two contradictory states, it's that the definition of the rock hasn't been fulfilled. The rock can never exist in the first place.
The other example, which feels less mealy mouthed to talk about, is the square circle, and whether God can create it. I maintain that he can't because the square circle doesn't even exist conceptually. It's meaningless to suggest he could.
God could be in two places at one time, performing two contradictory actions simultaneously. Thereby cancelling out any paradox.
For example - he can be in a place where he can't create the rock, and at the same time - in a place where he can.
A place where can lift it and a place where he can't. Simultaneously.
Objects in the macro/deterministic world are incapable of being in two places at any one time. But in a micro-world it's not only possible, but the its the very basis of a non-deterministic structure.
Logic is bound by space-time, and what reason should we suspect that a 'God' would be too? Why should God's abilities be tied to the deterministic (cause-effect) macro-world?
Google 'quantum computer'. 0s and 1s firing at the same time. Traditional computers can only operate with one or the other firing, thereby making quantum computers infinitely faster. Also ridiculously more expensive and difficult to manufacture.

Whereas digital computers require data to be encoded into binary digits (bits), each of which is always in one of two definite states (0 or 1), quantum computation uses quantum bits (qubits), which can be in superpositions of states".
