Well, if you are a Christian... Studying the Bible first... If you are not a Christian... The Mandarin would be more useful because you'd probably run into a Chinese Christian and they could share the gospel with you in two languages. Since China has more Christians that the U.S. does now.

Both are interesting.
The Bible is a great book,
and Mandarin is a great language.
Try to figure out which one would be most useful to you.

Why do you have to choose only one? Did they only teach you one subject in school?
The Bible has the chance to teach you about life and the afterlife whereas Mandarin just allows you to talk to other Chinese people.
Your choice :)
(mandarin is probably harder to learn anyway)

No comparision between a language and the Word of God. Get you a good Study Bible.

That is like asking "should I learn defense law, or memorize green eggs and ham?".
Go with Mandarin.

Studying the Bible would be, but hey, why not do both?

Depends... Did you care more about your life or language? If you, like myself, value your life (and soul) then I would suggest (heavily) the Bible.

Studying the Bible.
I can already speak a more ancient form of Chinese.
