Joh 6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
Where was the Son of man before his incarnation? From Jesus' on words, He was ascending to that place
Joh 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Here Jesus states that He came down from heaven to do the Father's will.
So where was Jesus sent forth from...before he was born of a woman?

Since you refused to answer my question until I answered yours, I will do the same. I am still waiting on an answer. Please explain how you rectify an "eternal Son" being "eternally sent" with the phrase "WHEN THE FULLNESS OF THE TIME WAS COME."
Galatians 4:4 does not say, "God sent forth His son and THEN the Son was made of a woman." If you are basing your interpretation of this verse on the order of the phrases contained in it, then:
1. The fullness of the time came
2. God sent forth His Son
3. His Son was made of a woman.
This interpretation begs the question: When was the "fullness of the time"? Furthermore, I ask again, how do you reconcile that SPECIFIC reference to a POINT IN TIME to an "eternal Son?"
