What code did the Byzantine Empire use to under control?
I do not understand what you mean by "to use under control."
The emperor Justinian I (or the Great, reigned 527-565) commissioned the Corpus Juris Civilis (Body of Civil Law), which was also called the Justinian Code during the Renaissance (16th century). It was published in a second edition in 534.
The Corpus Juris Civilis came in four parts:
1) The Codex (book) which was a review of imperial laws going back 400 years (to the time of Hadrian). It scrapped obsolete or unnecessary laws, made changes when necessary and clarified obscure passages. Its aim was to put the laws in a single book (previously they were written on many different scrolls), harmonise conflicting views among jurists which arose from centuries of poorly organised development of Roman law and have a coherent body of law. It consists of 12 books, 1 book covers ecclesiastical law, the duties of high officers and sources of law, 7 cover private law, 1 criminal law, and 3 administrative laws.
2) The Digesta which was a collection of fragments taken from essays on laws written by jurists (mostly from the 2nd and 3rd centuries) and which expressed the private opinions of legal experts. Most were from Ulpian (40%) and Paulus (17%). It was a large amount of writing which was condensed in 50 books. It was used as advanced law student textbook.
3) The Institutiones was a textbook for first year law students written by two professors. It was a series of extracts from statements on the basic institutions of Roman law from the teaching books by 'writers of authority.' In was largely based on the texts of Gaius, a jurist of the 2nd century AD.
4) The Novellae Constitutiones, which contained laws recently issued by Justinian.
This work was forgotten after the fall of the Roman Empire until it was discovered in a library in Pisa in 1070. It had a big impact because many people were impressed with the key principles of Roman civil law: citizenship and citizenship rights, equality under the law, the right to a trial and the right to appeal, innocent until proven guilty, that the burden of proof rest on the accuser and not on the accused, and that an unfair law can be repealed. It also included important essays on law and student textbooks which facilitated the study of law. Eventually, though this work, Roman civil law became the foundation of the civil laws of many modern countries.

Why was the Byzantine Empire considered a theocracy?
The Byzantine Empire (the surviving, and Greek, part of the Roman Empire) was not a theocracy; it had a secular ruler, not a priest as ruler.
However, the Greek Orthodox Church had a significant role in Greek society, and in matters where the Church had a considerable interest, its concerns would have been taken into account, and even guided the ruler's decision.
As the Byzantine Empire shrank over its 1000 year history, the Greek Patriarch of Constantinople came to be the undisputed head of the Church in the Byzantine Empire, but he was never actual or defacto ruler of the state.

Sorry to disappoint you but that's not how this works. If you have no confidences in yourself, enough to convince a future employee how do you expect me to do it for you? I don't know you, I just answer questions, you have to gain a bit of trust in yourself and confidence at the same time. No one person can do that for you, it has to come from within you.

How did god use the byzantine empire to perserve valuable cultural skills and knowledge?
The Roman Empire was falling apart, we might've never known science, medicine, and laws, like we know them now, without God making the Byzantine Empire possible and keeping it going for so long. I mean most things we know come from Rome and their philisophers. All though the Byzantine Empire was mixed with greek culture, it was also mixed with Roman culture, preserving what we know now. In these ways, God used the Byzantine Empire.
I hope this helps and its actually better than the anwser I orginally wrote.

What caused the conflict between popes and the byzantine empire?
You are referring to the Great Schism, where excommunication began by the Pope Leo IX in the Hagia Sophia in 1054. Tensions between both of the churches began when the Pope crowned Charlemagne the Great of Germany the King of Rome, beginning the Holy Roman Empire in the 800s. The Byzantine Empire considered themselves (and rightfully so, they were the Eastern half that never fell) the true Romans, so they took this move by the Papacy as a diplomatic insult. There were also things that Pope and Patriarch of Constantinople could not agree on, such as the Catholic use of unleavened bread for the Eucharist at Mass. Also, there was the Catholic tradition that priests must be celibate, while the Eastern Orthodox Church allowed them to marry, making Catholics rather angry. Basically, it was a failure to agree on interpretations of Scripture that causes fragmentation in all forms of organized religion and ideology.
