This has been subject of disagreement for many many years.. And it will not be resolved until the return of Christ

Personally I can not find scripture to settle the issue.. I look at the suffering of saints in the scriptures and through the ages and wonder why we should think that a 'special" generation would be spared that

It is difficult to see the beheadings and persecution happing to our brothers and sisters and to think that somehow it could happen to us...Will we stand strong? Would we hold our testimony? ..It is much nicer to think we will be taken out of it..

I pray for the courage to withstand a persecution should it come

Amen.

“And it will not be resolved until the return of Christ”

Well, when the tribulation starts and we are all still here, I think that will resolve it for a lot of people who are uncertain, or mistaken in their notions.

For others, it may lead them into even greater error.

Why not??? All generations have been spared that...This will be God's wrath on the disbelieving world...Something so fierce and wild and disastrous that the world has never seen the likes of...It's a punishment for the world...Not Christianity...
