It was originally thought that Horsemen were the concepts of death, famine, war and pestilence personified, which, at the time, would mean death can kill anything, but this might not be the case anymore, as death is dead but people are still able to die. So back then, I'd say God wasn't necessarily infinitely stronger than death, but both were close in power, that they could kill each other. Now we have scenes like Dean being able to kill death with his own scythe. If God and his archangels were able to defeat the Darkness, they would able to defeat death.
