No answers if you avoid the Word of God -
like Ephesians 2:2 "the prince of the power of the air (THE DEVIL): the spirit that works IN the children of disobedience".
Any christians disobedient out there? - "Living after the flesh unto death" Romans 8:13.
So, 'Can a christian have a devil?
Yup, if they want to - live after the flesh.
Forgive me but do we truly know just what were saying? Only one devil many demons many fallen angels. For me what I read understand and know is.. no I can not have a devil. We live in this bubble thats not the real realm..so do we truly know just what were saying? Who so ever calls on the name of the lord shall be DELIVERED! Praise GOD glory to JESUS!

I don't see how any one who has Jesus and the Holy Spirit ' in ' them can also have a Devil ' in them ' also. Paul never warns of this .
Eph 2.2 is an unsaved person .
1¶And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; ( saved person indwelt now by the Holy Spirit . impossible to have a in dwelling by the Devil with the Holy Spirit )
2Wherein in time PAST ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3Among whom also we all HAD our conversation in times PAST in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4¶But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5Even when we WERE dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved
6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Do you see the contrast between the saved and the lost ?
Nope, if the Holy Spirit is living in you, then the devil cant. But He can influence a Christian and He tries it where He can.
.
Seeing as how not every Christian is indwelled by the Spirit of Christ, then I
would say that there is very likely quite a few Christians out there
harboring a devil.
• Rom 8:9 . . If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not
belong to Christ.
In short, there are numbers of Christians claiming the Lord as their
shepherd when, in reality, he isn't.

Christians obviously still live after the lusts of the flesh, which is why they are dying like flies like all other mortals - Romans 8:13 makes it more than obvious.
Wrong.
Jesus might be in your spirit, but your Soul filled with the Dragon - The demonic nature of the flesh.
This is not the same. And Jesus is not in my Spirit. The Holy Spirit is living in me.
That the flesh is against the Spirit is not New.
But it is not possible that the Holy Spirit lives together with the devil in someone.
So "Christ in you the Hope of Glory" (Col 1:27) does not apply to you?
You have much to learn of the difference of Spirit and Soul.

Why do you think christians are still dying?
It goes much deeper than the superficial teaching of the Bible.

It is appointed once for a man to die- The Bible. We're not going to live forever, here on earth, yet.
