No debating doctrine is not our purpose however our purpose can be fulfilled in debating doctrine. The thing about debating is that often times it creates strife people argue and point the fingers they use scripture against each other all for the sake of disproving and proving war is often times made in the body of Christ because many do not go into debates to learn and grow they go into it to be right or simply for the high of heated debates they can go under the guise of giving brotherly correction or teaching but the fruits is different.
Debating doctrine has it's purpose if done in the correct manner, if we cannot debate in a mature calm and loving manner then the debate does no one any good and nothing can be learned or gained. But if one goes into debates with the intention to grow learn to become closer to God the outcome is vastly different even in the heat of war and attacks from others they respond in love and their words are still waters and yet as a blazing fire as they impact the hearts of others and show what love and who God truly is.
The motive of the heart decides everything

To glorify our Father.
How we do that is according to our maturity, i.e. knowledge and understanding of Scripture.
Our father has a place for us in His great plan. It is up to us as to how well surrender to His will.
But in the end, it is all about glorifying our Father. Anything else we do is a waste of the life God gives to each of us.

Jesus intention for our walk with Him is plain in the following verses

No one has seen GOD.GOD Is a SPIRIT and faith pleases GOD,not carnal senses,man was weak because of the flesh.
GOD so loved the world that HE gave HIS only begotton son,that whosoever believed HIS WORD would not perish but have EVERLASTING LIFE.
Those who have believed In HIS WORD have been born again of the SPIRIT of GOD and are HIS workmanship created In CHRIST JESUS unto good works that were before ordained that we should walk In them.
