That question provides the appearance of a paradox without actually being one. It's solution is the same one as the solution to "what would happen if an irresistable force met an immovable object".

In this case we can see God as the 'irresistable force'. If we take the existence of God as given, then the concept of "immovable object" (or "object too heavy for God to lift") because literally nonsensical. Such an object cannot *by definition* exist in a universe where we have already accepted the existence of an irresistable force. The concept itself becomes invalid, making the question meaningless.
