Some argue that since a Christian's body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, it would be impossible for a demon to coexist within the same body, as it would be incompatible with the presence of the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 6:19 talks about the importance of avoiding sexual immorality and not letting sin control our bodies. It stresses that sexual immorality is a sin against our own bodies and highlights the need to honor God with our bodies by staying away from sin. This passage is not about Christians unable to have demons.

This passage is emphasizing the importance of fleeing from sexual immorality and taking care of our bodies as they are temples of the Holy Spirit. This passage is focused on maintaining sexual purity and not uniting one's body in immorality with a prostitute.

Paul is reminding the Corinthians that when a person engages in sexual relations with a prostitute, they are becoming one body with that person. However, he contrasts this by stating that the one who is joined to the Lord is one spirit. Paul's point is that a Christian's body, as a member of or "joined to" Christ, should never at the same time become a member, one body, with a prostitute.

This passage is not talking about Christians being unable to have demons.

Interpreting this verse to argue that Christians cannot have demons is reading into the text a meaning that is not explicitly there, it is reflecting the interpreter's preconceived notions or biases.
