   you either make a page template for that page:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates

   or work with a plugin to allow php code in posts/pages
   for instance
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/

   Hello,

   You create a page template file, and insert what Jimmy has given. And then you use that template for the particular page.

   Please read this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

   i tried using the functions class:

   function create_post_list() {
   	$text = '';
      if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   	$text = '<h2> the_title(); </h2>';
         	$text .= the_content();
         	$text .= '<br />';
      endwhile;
      endif;
   	return $text;
   }
   add_shortcode('post_list', 'create_post_list');

   but for some reason it doesn't work when i add [post_list] to my page.. what is wrong?

   the wp_query link was for the parameter of the query, such as the number of posts, and to make sure you get all categories.
   if the code below is not working, you might need to add more parameter, such as post type...

   function create_post_list() {
   	$text = '';
   query_posts('cat=0&posts_per_page=-1');
      if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
   	$text = the_title('<h2>', '</h2>', false);
         	$text .= get_the_content();
         	$text .= '<br />';
      endwhile;
      endif; wp_reset_query();
   	return $text;
   }
   add_shortcode('post_list', 'create_post_list');

   if the result does not look 'good' try to replace this line:
   $text .= get_the_content();
   with:
   $text .= apply_filters('the_content', get_the_content());

    for some reason it doesn't work... it only shows 1 post, twice..

    what can be the problem?

    a tiny dot . is missing (which i have overseen when posting the code)

    in this line before the = sign, to start the concatenation of the titles etc.

    $text = the_title('<h2>', '</h2>', false);

    has to be:

    $text .= the_title('<h2>', '</h2>', false);
