Yes, grace has 'appeared' to all men, but are all men being graced by God?  Grace in Titus 2:12 'teaches' us to live godly.  Are all men right now being taught to live godly?  The Greek word for 'teaches' means 'to train up' or 'chastise.' 

Heb 12:5  And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: 

Heb 12:6  For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

Heb 12:7  If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

Heb 12:8  But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye ********, and not sons.

For sure, grace has become evident in this age, but not all men are experiencing this grace in their lives.

Hi Brian, I think a word study on appeared is interesting, especially how it is used in other scripture too.  Here is strong's

appeared:

epiphaino {ep-ee-fah'-ee-no}
2014

1) to show to or upon

a) to bring to light

2) to appear, become visible

a) of stars

3) to become clearly known, to show one's self

hey guys,
 thanks for your responses :)
 mongoose i can understand your feelings...part of the reason why i became so interested in preterism was because of all the phony scripture-twisting done by things like Left Behind. i wanted the TRUTH, and i knew there was very little of it in the popular "rapture--end times" theology. with each day i am becoming better at seeing things spiritually, although i am still unsure what the second coming of Christ really was\is\will be.
