English to Latin translation needed

Hi,

i am creating a fantasy world for a game/story.

In a nutshell...

One of my races practices a religion that believes the Divine One created the the world: Their motto is (to be translated into Latin): "All Is One" (i.e. everything is related to The One).

Recently, this belief has been questioned. A group believes that 2 Creators (the Divine Twins) created the the world: Their motto is (to be translated into Latin): "All Is All" (i.e. everything is related to The All).

Any & all assistance in these translations will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much.

@Leo Fultz,

For "All is One", I would follow the example of St. Anselm of Canterbury
(De processione Spiritus) and say Omnia sunt Unum.

For "All is All", I would say "Omnia sunt Omnia".

However, on re-reading your request, I see that you are personifying
"one" and "all" (the predicate nominatives). In this case I would still
use Unum in the first sentence, but Totum in the second as that
suggests all things considered as a whole.

so:
Omnia est Unum
Omnia est Totum

Please read this.
