If Christ were running the church, why did he allow his cousin to be beheaded, Peter to deny him, Stephen to be stoned etc., etc.


Maby because there is a stark difference between our current perception of Christ, and the description you can find of him in the early gospels like Mark.

When you climb up a ladder, you...begin at the bottom...ascend step by step, until you arrive at the top...so it is with the principles of the Gospel--you must begin with the first...go on until you learn all the principles of exaltation. But it will be a great while after you have passed through the veil before you will have learned them. It is not all to be comprehended in this world. Joseph Smith

The answer to any question that starts with "Why does God allow..." is:

"Agency".  

Those familiar with Mormonism should already know that answer.
Please ask me what I believe before telling me what I believe.  Hint- start here: http://lds.org/scriptures/

I don't agree.   Baal is not God.   Asherah is not God's wife. But I understand the theory such as it is.

Hey, good pun on the William Dever! Didn't notice that.
