Except that it would appear that He asks a "what if" based on a 
premise.  That premise would appear to be "going back to where He
came from before."  I checked D.K. Bernard's book, "The Oneness 
View of Jesus Christ," and there isn't a scripture reference to John
6:62.  He goes up to John 6:58, and talks about Jesus not 
pre-existing, but doesn't go to v 62 (which is in another paragraph)
which SEEMS to contradict.
