Lucifer stars reflect on show during last day of filming
With the whole premise of the show being that the devil is walking the Earth as human and solving crimes, Lucifer (played by Tom Ellis) had to establish a lot of lore to explain to its fans just how the supernatural elements and the real ones worked together. But while some things seem too complicated for most viewers to remember, one would assume that at least the writer and the characters would be fully briefed on the ins and outs of it all.

One fan recently found an episode in season three, the show makes a mistake in explaining Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside) and Pierce’s (Tom Welling) immortality.
Referring to episode 22 of season three, titled All Hand of Decker, they said: “Charlotte Richards (Tricia Helfer) says to Amenadiel that he and Pierce were ‘both former immortals who became mortal’.”
They explained that “Amenadiel never lost his immortality in any of the previous episodes, he just lost his powers. He can be killed by celestial objects like blades or other sharp objects".
“Pierce however did lose his mark because of Chloe's (Lauren German) love, it is assumed, so he became mortal,” they added, writing on the forum site Movie Mistakes.

Pierce was in fact originally immortal: he is actually Cain and after killing his brother Abel, God cursed him with immortality.
That’s when Amenadiel placed a mark on him to punish him for the very first act of murder.
Though after falling in love with Chloe and truly believing himself worthy, the mark was removed.
With the removal of his mark, Pierce lost all of the powers that came with it and became a normal human again.
Amenadiel on the other hand, is an angel and therefore not only is he immortal but he possessed superhuman powers.
