...save everyone? My mom saves the leftovers even if they're nasty or even if she's full she will eat them cause she does not like to waste anything. So why can't God do the same? My mom is more powerful than God?

He can, but he left the choice to us whether we want to be saved or not.

He never waste anything, Joseph said,years after he was thrown into a pit by his jealous brothers, and sold into slavery in Egypt, and into prison for being falsely accused of adultery, but remained faithful to God and use The prophetic given him by God, ended up feeding his own family, reuniting with them, through forgiveness.Pharaoh and all Egypt, became recipients of the same blessing because of their association with Him. God already knows those who are His , His word states this. Those He for-knew He predestined to be conformed into the image of His Son, that He might become the first born of many brethren,Rom.8:29-30, Eph.1:5-11(by adoption) So He already knows, but we don't always know until after we return (repent, and receive The Spirit of Truth through His Word) The only things that will be cast into the lake of fire (Gehenna, a type of the trash heap outside The Jerusalem City wall) Will be the ones who choose to eat and exist in and out of the dung heap, it is useless, and destined for destruction. The good news is, it is Gods will that NO ONE BE LOST! He will not force you, but if you will be still, and listen, you may hear His still, low key voice, calling, come,I will in no way cast you out or turn you away, only BELIEVE!!

Do you think God wastes everything? You seem to be insinuating that in your question. Satan is called the great Waster in the Bible so the devil would be the one who would throw out the leftovers, your mom is being like God when she saves those leftovers. God doesn't waste, He saves!

Your mom is obviously wiser than this version of "God"; so are you, and so am I, and so are many others, who can plainly see that such a mentally unbalanced god could not possibly exist. For if it did, it would have destroyed all of us, and itself long ago.
God knows us only as God created us. God knows there is nothing from which to be saved.
God is love only...not love and something that is not love, such as vengeance, punishment for acting on desires that this "god" gave us in the first place, and the establishment of an exclusive religious club, that only the "saved" can join.
God as God actually is, wastes no soul, not a speck of dust, nor a sun, nor the light in your eye. Never allow anyone, those disheartened by morbid teaching, to tell you you are less than perfectly loved by your perfect Father.

Save people from what? If you are referring to death, it's inevitable. Everyone has thier own appointed time to go. When my sister, who was only 26 passed, I found myself questioning God, which it's okay to question Him when you don't understand His will for our lives or the lives of a loved one. God is capabale of doing ANYTHING!! The problem arises when we want Him to move or respond to a particular situation or circumstance in our life when we WANT Him to, instead of trusting and believeing what His word says. God will not put more on you than you can bear. He allows certain things to happen because we were created to praise Him. And sometimes he has to take us into the valley to get our attention. But, If it's in His will, then guess what? It shall be done, with or without your consent.

If God gave salvation to everyone without conditions then there would nothing to curb our actions, behaviors, or thinking. Some people are so inherently wicked that they don't deserve to go to heaven. Oh yea I am one of those too. Thank god for his gift of salvation that I have to make a choice on. I choose to love or hate, forgive or condom, judge or not, kill or let be, etc (get the picture). I use to make some bad choices and if you had been around me you might of been my victim. And I was considered a good person.

Jehovah could save everyone one should they decide to do things Jehovah's way and not there own.
Jehovah has the right to tell his servants how to live. Anyone refusing to do so, will anger him to the point where there is no forgiveness left.
This is called grieving God's Holy Spirit.
Something none of us wants to do but some do it deliberately.

Your mother will save an old stinky food? I think not.
But God can save an old stinky man. I'm a living proof.
So God is more powerful than your mother.
But you didn't ask the right question. Instead of asking "Why God can't save everyone?", you should ask "Why don't everyone believe in God?"

God sent his son Jesus that we may have life and have it more abundantly. Jesus is our Savior, but he is also a gentleman. He does not force us to worship him or believe in him. Jesus said that if you do not acknowledge him before men he will not acknowledge you before his father in heaven. God's law does not lie. If you want to be saved by God, first you must confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus died on the cross. Go to church Sunday and tell the preacher you want to be saved, and he'll walk you through it.
