The irony of this has not been lost on me.

You're missing the point. I ask two people what "Christ's doctrine" is, and I get two answers. So, when a person says "Don't worry about all these man-made doctrines. Worry about Christ's doctrine.", it's useless. He just told one person to love everyone no matter what and the other person to not let gay people get married.
Until everyone can agree what X is, you can't tell a bunch of different people making different assumptions to "just do X" and expect any consistent behavior. That's why this advice is a platitude. It sounds all wise and profound on the surface, but you cannot draw a single, coherent meaning from that statement in and of itself.
