The majority of Christians (once again, not all) also believe in the Trinity, which is to say, One God in 3 persons and 3 persons in 1 god. It's a difficult concept to explain. Therefore, God to Jesus is himself, and god the father, and god the holy ghost. Christians believe only Jesus the person died, not the god.

FWIW, I'm told that hell is described in the Bible as a condition more than a place. It's the condition where the whole wrath of god the father is directed against the person for their sins.
I was always taught that Hell was the further place removed from the sight and love of god.

I do prefer Dante's interpretation of hell, mostly because he found some Pope's there when he went on his tour
