The Triple-Fold Temple Creed (s)
The Temple of Yahshuah, adhere to, confess and uphold a Triple-Fold Creed. Which culminates to three historical creeds or statements of faith, proclaimed and held by African-Black people over the past 6000 years and more.
This Triple-Fold Creed (s), like our Triple-Fold Prayer (s) & Law (s), are the foundations upon which this Temple is built. Which also stand as testimonies, proof and evidence, to an unbroken unique religious and spiritual concept and tradition of African people, over thousands of years.
Although, it is customary for people to hold to only One Creed, nevertheless, as a means to ensure some continuity, a relationship, endurance and sustainability, we have opted for these three unique separate creeds, to form just One Temple Triple-Fold Creed. This helps us to maintain this historical most ancient spiritual system and tradition, in contents and context for posterity. This Triple-Fold Creed (s), culminates to (1) The Ancient Nile Valley Creed; a collections of statements by the Ancient Egyptians themselves, defining their Supreme God, dating from 4000 years before Christ, (2) The Nicene Creed; which established Christian Orthodoxy in 325AD, and (3) Garvey's African Christian Creed; A selection of statements by the 20th century visionary Marcus Garvey, which defines how he suggested African People, should both see and worship the Deity, .
Between these Three Creeds, is to be found; The proof of the continued devotion; A proven record of an enlightened view of this Deity by African-Black people; And also a solid foundation upon-which African-People, as well as people of all tribes, can today better understand and appreciate the true nature of this Deity, in its Triune Form. You can read these 3 Creeds below, or Click the post images below them, to access the individual Creed pages.

Garvey's African Christian Creed
“There is a God and we believe in Him.
He is not a person nor a physical being.
He is spirit and He is universal intelligence.
(We will) Never deny that there is a God.
God being universal intelligence created the universe, out of that intelligence.
It is intelligence that creates.
Man is a part of the creation of universal intelligence and man was created in the image and likeness of God, only by his intelligence.
It is the intelligence of man that is like God, but man's intelligence is only a unitary particle of God's universal intelligence”.
(With our unitary intelligence we are therefore determined)
to see our God through our own spectacles.
The God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
We (African-Black People)
believe in the God of Ethiopia,
the everlasting God -
God the Father,
God the Son
and God the Holy Ghost,
the One God of all ages.
That is the God in whom we believe,
but we shall worship Him
through the spectacles of Ethiopia"

Ancient Nile Valley Creed
"GOD IS ONE AND ALONE
and no other exists with Him,
GOD IS THE ONE,
the One who has made all things.
GOD IS A SPIRIT,
a hidden spirit,
the spirit of spirits,
the great spirit of the Egyptians
(Km't the Black Land),
the divine spirit.
GOD IS FROM THE BEGINNING,
and He has been from the beginning,
He has existed from old
and was when nothing else had being.
He existed when nothing else existed,
and what existed He created
after He had brought himself into being,
He is the Father of beginnings.
GOD IS THE ETERNAL ONE
He is eternal and infinite
and he endures for ever and ever.
GOD IS HIDDEN
and nobody knows His form.
No one has been able to seek out His likeness;
He is hidden to both gods and men,
and He is a mystery unto his creatures.
Nobody knows how to know Him,
His name remains hidden;
His name is a mystery unto His children.
His names are innumerable
and none knoweth their number.
GOD IS TRUTH
and He lives by truth
and He feeds upon it.
He is the king of truth,
and He has established the earth upon it.
GOD IS LIFE
and through Him only man lives.
He gives life to man,
He breaths the breath of life into his nostrils.
GOD IS FATHER AND MOTHER,
the father of fathers, and the mother of mothers.
He begets, but was never begotten;
He produces, but was never produced;
He begat himself and produced himself.
He created, but was never created;
He is the maker of his own form,
and the fashioner of His own body.
GOD IS HIMSELF EXISTENCE,
He endures without increasing or diminition,
He multiplies Himself millions of times,
and He is manifold in forms and in members.
GOD HAS MADE THE UNIVERSE,
and He has created all that is in it;
He is the Creator of what is in this world,
and of what was,
of what is,
and of what shall be.
He is the Creator of the heavens,
and of the earth,
and of the deep,
and of the water,
and of the mountains.
GOD HAS STRETCHED OUT THE HEAVENS
and founded the earth.
What His heart conceive,
straight away come to pass,
and when He spoke it,
it comes to pass
and it endures forever.
GOD IS FATHER OF THE GODS
He fashioned men
and formed the gods
GOD IS MERCIFUL
Unto those that worship HIM.
AND HE HEARS
Those that call upon HIM.
GOD KNOWS
Those that acknowledges HIM
HE REWARDS
Those that serve HIM,
AND HE PROTECTS
Those that follow HIM.
AMEN"

The Nicene Creed, 325 AD
We believe in one God,
the Father,
the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord,
Yahshuah Karast (Jesus Christ),
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God, from true God,
begotten, not made,
one in Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered, died, and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in fulfilment of the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
