Part IV -The Jesus Papers -- had a little different origin. They were produced by a midwayer commission and were completed one year later than the other Papers. The first three parts were completed and certified to us in AD 1934. The Jesus Papers were not so delivered to us until 1935." (History, Page 000309).
The Urantia Papers say: "This group of papers was sponsored by a commission of twelve Urantia
Midwayers acting under the supervision of a Melchizedek revelatory director. The basis of this narrative was supplied by a secondary midwayer who was onetime assigned to the superhuman watchcare of the Apostle Andrew."
Dr. Sprunger, in his tape on origin, says: "As you recall, at the Lucifer rebellion, there was a great loss of midwayers, and the United midwayers were somewhat gun-shy of this attempt to bring what is the fifth epochal revelation to humankind. And so they decided they would guard against this by having a group of the United Midwayers challenge the authenticity of the instructions to do this. Maybe there was another Lucifer directing this, you know. And so this committee put through a suit to the local system. The courts there wouldn't touch it. It went on up the constellation. They wouldn't touch it. It went up to the local universe government. The courts there wouldn't touch it. It went up to the superuniverse courts. And eventually the courts there, the Ancients of Days, not only approved it, but Sadler told me they gave it - and he pronounced the word that they gave - it was a word -that they had priority, and no one was to interfere with their work. And you should have heard the celebration among these midwayers when this approval came through."
