Your real paradox is this: we deserve eternal punishment because we fail to accomplish the impossible.
So if your lost, it will be God's fault, is that what your saying?
Is God unjust, is that what your saying?
Whatever point your making, your not taking into consideration that God provides a way of salvation through Jesus Christ.

That may be, but why is there a need for a "way of salvation"? What do I need to be saved from? From God's wrath, correct? He has set things up so that I "deserve" death, because I am a sinner, and it is impossible not to be a sinner. (First off. The "way of salvation" comes later. Remember, we are talking about why that is needed.)

Further, God didn't have to provide a way of salvation, correct? If He had just let things go the way they were, with everyone deserving eternal punishment, we would, in fact, all end up in eternal punishment, and nobody could complain. Because all deserved it. Every last one of us. Correct?

That is why God provided the sacrifice, because it is impossible for us to be perfect, "...as God is perfect..."
