Ive played minecraft for a long time and I have never had any issues, but the other day I got the latest macbook pro 13 inch and I have run into troubles with minecraft.
The game starts up perfectly fine, and even runs fine for a while, but quickly I start to notice little spikes I guess you could say of discoloration on the screen. Its hard to describe but it seemed like the display was just glitching. Framerate is fine at ~40 fps, but then I start to get jerks. The screen and the computer freeze for a few seconds, then it goes back to normal, then it happens again, and eventually it just crashes and throws an error. Unfortunately the minecraft console provides very little info.
I don't own a MacBook so I don't know much about its system. I would suggest deleting your minecraft launcher and the file. After deleting those download minecraft again. Also, make sure you have the latest version of Java. Tell me if you need anymore help.
So, you downloaded it AND installed it? Hmm... install the JDK: Here.
Also, check your Utilities folder for something like "Java Preferences" and poke around in their for some kind of setting that lets you use the latest version. If that doesn't work, run in the Terminal:
java --version
To see the version of java installed. Tell us here.
/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7
to see the install location of Java 1.7, then go there and delete anything like 1.6.jdk so you have only Java 1.7 there. Thinking about it, the solution probably is to install the JDK.

I tried the 1.7.jdk and updated my launcher profile to use it. Also I dont have a "Java Preferences" in the utilities folder.

And the minecraft log

The issue is very strange, but there are a few more details. I have had it happen while just playing minecraft, but a good way I have found to accelerate the process is to switch to another screened window (google chrome in full screen for example). Also, often times the game runs fine for minutes before the issue quickly takes effect. Based on the strange glitchy lines, it inclines me to think that it is some kind of graphics card issue, but the game was working for a day or so without problem. Ideally there would be some information that could prove what the issue was because it would be quite the hassle to transfer all my data over to a replacement machine just to find the error return.

He doesn't need the JDK... That's for developers using coding software, games don't use it at all. It stands for Java Development Kit. Also, manually going to the folder and deleting stuff there is a terrible idea, and a good way to corrupt your system. You need to uninstall java using the control panel (or the apple equivalent). Honestly, don't do anything this guy says, he has no idea what he's talking about.

Thread's solved. Apple's Software Update is insistent on using Java 6, the only way of getting Java 7 is to delete stuff.
To uninstall the JDK, you must have Administrator privileges and execute the remove command either as root or by using the sudo(8) tool.
Navigate to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines and remove the directory whose name matches the following format:*
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk<major>.<minor>.<macro[_update]>.jdk
For example, to uninstall 7u6:
% rm -rf jdk1.7.0_06.jdk
I do know what I'm talking about. And I know that's for the JDK, but it's the same process.
Apple doesn't have a "Uninstall programs" control panel, you remove stuff with the uninstaller that came with the software, or you delete it.

Minecraft console (look at the time stamps): http://hastebin.com/kiqipebuwa.vbs

If you want any other information I can post it, but for hardware specs you can just check the latest macbook pro 13 inch.

Possibly try increasing the ram given to minecraft. Here's a tutorial if needed http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1395030-tutorial-allocate-more-memory-for-minecraft/

Is there anything in either of the errors that may narrow down the issue?

This still shows up in minecraft console

After all this, the issue still occurs. Here is an updated crash report:
