No, it is infact quite literal... I gave three versions including the Catholic version.

Duh. I'm not questioning that the word is there, I am questioning how you interpret it. To read it your way, they had sex immediately after the birth.

In order to believe in the immaculate conception you have to believe in the perpetual virginity.

Uh, no. I'm not aware of any logical linking between the two. This is assuming that you know what "Immaculate Conception" means, and it has been put forth that you do not.

Scripture also states that Jesus has brothers and sisters. Jude being one of the half brothers.

Jesus had kin, yes. Possibly even step-siblings. But none other is identified as a child of Mary.

However, Mary was just like any other young Jewish girl, not of supernatural origins,

Who said Mary was of "supernatural origins"? You have an odd idea of what Catholicism teaches.

Until does mean up to a point when a change occurs, or Until wouldn't be there

Psalm 110:1The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

So, after the enemies are made into a footstool, He no longer sits at the right hand? It says "until," right?

How can THE Lord sit on HIS own right hand? He was talking to Whom, me' Lord? Yes, it is a reference to another sitting on the Lord's right hand until the enemies were beatten to submission...
