His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
In Psalms God is said to use clouds as chariots, and to use light as a garment.
Psalm 104:2-4New International Version (NIV)
2 The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment;
he stretches out the heavens like a tent
3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.
He makes the clouds his chariot
and rides on the wings of the wind.
4 He makes winds his messengers,[a]
flames of fire his servants.
Which "sun god" was supposedly born on December 25th? This guy doesn't give any references, or if he does in the work you haven't given them to us.
If our record of Hippolytus is correct, then December 25th was already in use by Christians before Sol Invictus. Saturnalia wasn't celebrated on December 25th at all. If there is any borrowing, it is in the opposite direction.
You might check this book out, it has a lot of interesting information. You should also read the whole thread here, as it has a lot of information, and I'd rather not have to retype a lot of the information.
